Accupro ACC-RXD2 Convex Radius Cutting Tool Bit Rxd

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RXD2 is a right-hand convex radius cutting tool bit designed for precision radius turning and forming operations on metalworking lathes. Built in the RXD style, it features a solid carbide tip brazed to a 3/8-inch square shank, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent performance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a 1/16-inch convex radius, a tip length of 0.375 inches, and a tip thickness of 3/32 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this bit for contour turning, groove profiling, and form cutting where radius accuracy is critical.

This tool bit is suited for manual and CNC engine lathes in job shop, maintenance machining, and production environments. The right-hand cutting direction means it advances the workpiece from right to left in standard lathe orientation. The 3/8-inch square shank fits directly into standard 3/8-inch and compatible tool holders commonly used in light- to medium-duty turning applications. It is appropriate for use on mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials where a precise 1/16-inch convex radius form is required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip for superior hardness and extended edge life compared to high-speed steel alternatives
• 1/16-inch convex radius profile for accurate radius turning and form work
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• 3/8-inch square shank for compatibility with common tool holders
• RXD-style geometry with 0.375-inch tip length and 3/32-inch tip thickness
• 2.5-inch overall length suits standard toolpost and turret setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit tool bit for lathes and turning centers accepting a 3/8-inch square shank tool holder in right-hand RXD-style configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the lathe is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before changing or seating tool bits. Set the tool bit on center height using shims or an adjustable tool holder before taking a cut. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before use, as a damaged tip can affect radius accuracy and workpiece finish.
