Accupro ACC-LT375 Single Point Tool Bit 3/8 Inch Lh Turning

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-LT375 is a left-hand single point tool bit designed for turning operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features a micrograin solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering sharp, consistent cutting edges suited for finishing and general-purpose turning. The shank measures 3/8 inch in both width and height, and the overall length is 6 inches. This tool bit is built for machinists and toolroom operators who need reliable geometry and edge retention when working ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Industry standard number LT-375 makes cross-referencing and replacement straightforward.

This tool bit is intended for turning applications on small to mid-size lathes in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. The left-hand cutting direction means it engages the workpiece when the tool feeds from left to right, which is common in certain facing and shoulder operations. Typical users include machinists running manual engine lathes as well as operators setting up turret or CNC turning centers that accept standard shank tooling. The 3/8 inch shank size fits standard tool post holders and turret blocks sized for that geometry.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide tip for improved edge retention and wear resistance compared to standard carbide grades
• Left-hand cutting direction for right-to-left feed turning, facing, and shoulder work
• 3/8 inch square shank fits standard tool post holders without modification
• 6 inch overall length provides adequate reach and rigidity for most light to medium turning setups
• Industry standard LT-375 designation simplifies replacement and procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard LT-style single point turning tool bit compatible with tool post holders and turret blocks that accept a 3/8 inch square shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or turret block, ensuring the cutting tip is set at the correct center height relative to the workpiece axis before beginning a cut. Power down the lathe spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing or adjusting tooling. Inspect the brazed carbide tip for cracks or chipping prior to each use, as a compromised tip can cause workpiece damage or tool failure.
