Accupro ACC-RXL13 Convex Radius Cutting Tool Bit 13/32 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RXL13 is a convex radius cutting tool bit designed for precision radius turning and forming operations on a lathe. Built to RXL style specifications, this left-hand cutting bit features a solid carbide tip brazed to a 3/4 inch square shank, providing rigidity and heat resistance during cutting. The tool measures 4.5 inches in overall length with a 3/4 inch tip length and a 3/16 inch tip thickness. The 13/32 inch convex radius profile makes it suited for producing consistent, repeatable curved profiles on metal workpieces. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with steel, cast iron, and similar materials rely on carbide-tipped bits like this for extended tool life and dimensional accuracy.

This bit is intended for use in manual or CNC lathe operations where a convex radius form is required on the finished workpiece. The left-hand cutting direction suits setups where the tool feeds from left to right across the workpiece. RXL style radius bits are commonly used in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance-and-repair machining applications. The solid carbide tip holds an edge longer than high-speed steel alternatives, making it a practical choice for higher-volume runs or harder workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Convex radius profile at 13/32 inch for consistent form turning
• Solid carbide tip for extended wear resistance and edge retention
• Left-hand cutting direction for right-to-left feed setups
• 3/4 inch square shank for secure tool post or holder engagement
• RXL style configuration for compatibility with standard radius tool holders
• 4.5 inch overall length with 3/4 inch tip length and 3/16 inch tip thickness

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard lathe tool posts and holders that accept a 3/4 inch square shank, consistent with RXL style radius tool bit applications in general machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or tool holder before operation and verify that the cutting direction matches the intended feed direction. Ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before setting or adjusting the tool. Do not exceed the lathe manufacturer's recommended depth of cut or feed rate for carbide-tipped tooling.
