Accupro ACC-RC375100 Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit 3/8 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RC375100 is a right-hand, single point cut-off and grooving tool bit designed for metal cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. It features a solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering the hardness and edge retention needed for demanding cut-off and grooving work. The shank measures 3/8 inch wide by 3/8 inch high, with a 6-inch overall length. The tip is 0.100 inch wide and 0.100 inch thick, suited for precise narrow-groove and parting operations. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this bit in standard tool post holders and boring bars sized for 3/8-inch shank stock.

This tool bit is intended for use in manual and CNC lathes performing cut-off and grooving operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The RC style geometry is matched to parting and grooving applications where a consistent, narrow chip channel is required. It fits standard 3/8-inch shank tool holders commonly found in job shops, maintenance shops, and production turning cells. The right-hand cutting direction is the standard orientation for conventional lathe setups.
