Accupro ACC-RC312080 Single Point Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RC312080 is a right-hand, single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on metal lathes and turning centers. It features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering hardness and wear resistance suited for interrupted cuts and tight-tolerance grooving work. The shank measures 5/16 inches wide by 5/16 inches tall with a 6-inch overall length. The tip width and tip thickness are both 0.080 inches, making this bit appropriate for narrow parting and shallow grooving passes. Machinists and tool-room operators install this style of bit in standard tool holders for general production and maintenance turning work.

This tool bit is used in manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and engine lathes where cut-off and grooving operations are required. The RC-style profile fits standard RC-series tool holders. It is suited for light to medium-duty turning applications in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The right-hand cutting direction is the conventional orientation for most standard lathe setups where the carriage feeds toward the headstock.
