Accupro ACC-RAD9 Concave Radius Cutting Tool Bit

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RAD9 is a concave RAD style radius cutting tool bit designed for lathe and turning operations that require a precise radius profile on the workpiece. Built with a carbide tip, this tool bit delivers hardness and wear resistance suited for repetitive cutting in production environments. It measures 3.5 inches in overall length with a 0.5-inch tip length and a 0.125-inch tip thickness. The 0.5-inch square shank provides a rigid, stable mount in standard tool holders. This is a right-hand cutting configuration, meaning material is fed from right to left relative to the cutting edge. Machinists and toolroom professionals rely on this style for form turning, radius blending, and finishing operations.

The ACC-RAD9 is suited for use in manual and CNC lathe applications where a concave radius of 9/32 inch must be cut consistently. It fits into standard square-shank tool holders with a 0.5-inch bore. Typical applications include generating concave grooves, form profiles, and radius transitions on metal workpieces. This tool is appropriate for job shops, production floors, and maintenance machining environments where carbide-tipped form tools are the standard choice for accuracy and tool life.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped cutting edge for hardness and extended wear resistance
• 9/32-inch concave radius profile for precise form turning
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard lathe feed direction
• 0.5-inch square shank for secure seating in common tool holders
• 3.5-inch overall length with 0.5-inch tip length and 0.125-inch tip thickness
• RAD style design for radius and form cutting operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style form tool for use in standard square-shank lathe tool holders accepting a 0.5-inch shank, compatible with manual and CNC turning centers configured for right-hand cutting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe before mounting or removing any tool bit. Seat the square shank fully in the tool holder and ensure the cutting edge is set to centerline height before beginning any cut. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before use and replace the tool if damage is found.
