Accupro ACC-RAD5 Concave Radius Cutting Tool Bit 5/32 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RAD5 is a concave, right-hand RAD style radius cutting tool bit designed for precision radius turning and form work on a lathe. It features a carbide tip for extended cutting life and consistent performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bit measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a 3/8 inch square shank, a 3/8 inch long tip, and a 3/32 inch tip thickness. The 5/32 inch concave radius profile allows machinists to produce repeatable, accurate contoured cuts with minimal setup time.

This tool bit is suited for use in production and job-shop turning operations where a defined concave radius is required on the finished workpiece. Its right-hand orientation makes it compatible with standard engine lathe setups where the tool cuts from right to left. The carbide tip construction is appropriate for both interrupted and continuous cuts on materials including steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron. It is sold individually and is a direct fit for tool holders accepting a 3/8 inch square shank.
