Accupro ACC-RC375080 Single Point Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RC375080 is a single point tool bit designed for cut-off and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. It features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, combining carbide hardness at the cutting edge with the rigidity of a robust shank body. The shank measures 3/8 inch wide by 3/8 inch high, and the overall length is 6 inches. The tip width and tip thickness each measure 0.080 inches, making it well suited for narrow groove and parting applications. This is a right-hand cutting tool, meaning the cutting action moves from right to left along the workpiece. Installation and use are handled by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople.

This tool bit fits RC-style tool holders and is intended for cut-off and grooving work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both production and job-shop environments. The 3/8 inch square shank seats in standard tool posts and holders sized for that shank dimension. Typical applications include parting off bar stock, turning external grooves, and undercutting operations where a narrow, rigid cutting tip is required. The solid carbide tip maintains edge integrity at higher cutting speeds compared to high-speed steel alternatives.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and set up by machinists using standard lathe tool posts or turret holders sized for a 3/8 inch shank. Secure all tool post fasteners firmly before engaging the spindle. Ensure the cutting tip is set at the correct center height relative to the workpiece axis before beginning a cut. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before each use and replace the tool bit if tip damage is observed.
