Accupro ACC-RAL6 Concave Radius Tool Bit 3/16 in Left Hand

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RAL6 is a left-hand, concave, RAL-style radius cutting tool bit designed for precision radius turning and form-turning operations on a lathe. The tool bit measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a 0.375-inch square shank and a 0.375-inch long tip that is 0.09375 inches thick. The cutting radius is 3/16 inches. The tip is constructed from solid carbide, providing hardness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting applications. This bit is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with metal lathes and similar cutting equipment.

The ACC-RAL6 is intended for use in radius and form-turning operations where a concave profile must be generated on a workpiece. The left-hand cutting direction suits setups where the tool advances from left to right relative to the spindle, or where the machine configuration requires a left-hand tool. The RAL style designation identifies the shank geometry and tip profile specific to this tool class. Typical applications include producing concave grooves, fillets, and radii on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in a machine shop environment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip for extended cutting life and heat resistance
• 3/16 inch concave cutting radius for precise profile turning
• Left-hand cutting direction for compatible lathe setups
• 3/8 inch square shank for secure tool post clamping
• RAL-style profile for compatibility with standard radius tool holders
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length suits bench and production lathes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use radius tool bit for lathes and turning centers that accept 3/8 inch square shank tool bits in a RAL-style holder configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or qualified tool-and-die professional. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating the tool bit in the tool post or holder. Ensure the shank is fully engaged in the holder and all set screws are tightened securely before resuming machine operation. Do not exceed the cutting parameters recommended for the workpiece material and machine rating.
