Accupro ACC-RAD6 Concave Radius Cutting Tool Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RAD6 is a right-hand, concave RAD style radius cutting tool bit designed for precision radius turning operations on a lathe. Built with a carbide tip, this tool bit delivers consistent performance when cutting concave profiles in metal and similar materials. It measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a 3/8-inch square shank and a 3/32-inch thick tip. The 3/16-inch radius geometry and 3/8-inch long tip make it well suited for machinists and toolmakers who need repeatable radius forms without grinding a custom profile.

This tool bit is used in manual and CNC lathe applications where a defined concave radius is required on a workpiece. It is a common choice in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production turning environments. The right-hand orientation means it cuts toward the headstock in standard lathe setups. Machinists working on bearing seats, grooves, and decorative or functional radius profiles will find this a direct-fit solution.

Key Features

• Concave RAD style cutting geometry for consistent radius profiles
• 3/16-inch radius for precise form turning
• Carbide tip for extended tool life on hard and abrasive materials
• 3/8-inch square shank for secure tool post mounting
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard lathe direction of travel
• 3/8-inch long tip with 3/32-inch thickness for controlled depth of cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style form tool bit for use in standard lathe tool holders and tool posts accepting a 3/8-inch square shank.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed by machinists using a standard lathe tool post or tool holder rated for 3/8-inch square shank inserts. Ensure the lathe is powered off and the spindle is fully stopped before changing or setting tool bits. Set tool height on center and confirm the tool post is securely clamped before initiating a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures for carbide tooling handling.
