Accupro ACC-RC625187 Cut-off Grooving Tool Bit Rc Style

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RC625187 is a single-point, right-hand cut-off and grooving tool bit designed for precision material separation and groove-cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning machines. Built to RC-style geometry, it features a solid micrograin carbide tip measuring 0.187 inches wide and 0.187 inches thick. The shank measures 5/8 inch in height and 5/8 inch in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. The micrograin carbide grade delivers a fine grain structure that resists chipping and maintains edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds, making it well suited for demanding cut-off work on steel, stainless, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials.

This tool bit is intended for use in production and job-shop turning environments where consistent, repeatable cut-off and grooving operations are required. It fits standard RC-style tool holders that accept 5/8 x 5/8 inch shank inserts. Typical applications include parting stock on bar-fed CNC turning centers and engine lathes, as well as cutting shallow grooves for snap-ring clearances and undercuts. It is sized for light to medium-duty cuts and performs best when paired with a rigid tool holder setup.

Key Features

• RC-style single-point geometry engineered for cut-off and grooving operations
• Solid micrograin carbide tip for extended edge life and resistance to chipping
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation setups
• 0.187-inch tip width provides a narrow kerf for minimal material loss
• 5/8 x 5/8 inch shank for compatibility with standard RC-style holders
• 4-inch overall length suits most turret and gang-tool configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use with RC-style tool holders accepting a 5/8 x 5/8 inch shank. Industry standard number RC-625187 can be used to cross-reference equivalent tool bits from other manufacturers.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and serviced by machinists and CNC lathe operators. Always power down and lock out the machine before seating or repositioning the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the clamping screws are torqued according to the tool holder manufacturer's specifications. Confirm tool centerline height relative to the workpiece centerline before taking a cut to prevent tool deflection or premature tip failure.
