Accupro ACC-RC500080 Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RC500080 is a single-point cut-off and grooving tool bit designed for precision parting and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. Built with a solid carbide tip, this right-hand cutting tool delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in demanding turning applications. The shank measures 0.5 inches in height and 0.5 inches in width, with an overall length of 6 inches. The tip measures 0.080 inches in both thickness and width, making it well suited for narrow cut-off work. Machinists and tool and die professionals are the primary users of this tooling.

This tool bit is intended for cut-off and grooving applications in metalworking environments, including production shops and job shops running manual lathes or CNC turning centers. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with standard lathe setups where the spindle rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the tailstock end. The RC tool bit style follows industry standard numbering RC-500080, which simplifies cross-referencing with tooling catalogs and machine specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for lathe tool posts and holders accepting a 0.5 inch square shank single-point tool bit in right-hand configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tool bit is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before mounting or adjusting tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or holder to the depth recommended by the holder manufacturer, and verify proper tool height alignment to centerline before beginning any cut.
