Accupro ACC-LT281 Single Point Tool Bit Lh Lt Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LT281 is a left-hand, LT-style single point tool bit designed for turning operations on metalworking lathes. It features a micrograin solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering a harder, more wear-resistant cutting edge than conventional carbide grades. The shank measures 9/32 inches wide by 9/32 inches tall, with an overall length of 6 inches. This combination of geometry and tip material suits precision turning where consistent edge integrity and tight tolerances are required. Machinists and toolroom operators install this type of bit in standard tool holders or turret-style toolposts configured for LT-style inserts.

The ACC-LT281 is suited for light-duty to medium turning work on manual and CNC lathes. Its left-hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for operations where the tool feeds from left to right across the workpiece, including facing, straight turning, and finish passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The square shank profile fits standard LT-style toolpost holders commonly found in production and job-shop environments. Industry standard number LT-281 is referenced for cross-referencing with compatible holders and tooling catalogs.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for superior wear resistance and edge retention
• Left-hand cutting direction for left-to-right feed turning applications
• LT-style tool bit geometry per industry standard LT-281
• 9/32 inch square shank fits standard LT-style toolpost holders
• 6 inch overall length provides adequate reach and rigidity for typical lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for LT-style single point tool holders used in turning applications, per industry standard number LT-281.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with lathe toolpost setup. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off before changing or setting tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the toolpost holder, verify correct tool height relative to the spindle centerline, and confirm cutting direction before resuming operation. Do not exceed the tool bit's rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material being turned.
