Accupro ACC-RXL9 Radius Cutting Tool Bit 9/32 in Left Hand

Product Description

The ACCUPRO ACC-RXL9 is a left-hand, convex radius cutting tool bit engineered for precision radius turning and form-cutting operations on lathes and CNC turning centers. Built to the RXL style, it features a solid carbide tip brazed to a 1/2-inch square shank, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent, repeatable cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 3-1/2 inches overall length with a 9/32-inch radius, this tool bit suits machinists and toolroom technicians who need accurate convex profiles on workpieces. The 1/8-inch tip thickness and 1/2-inch tip length provide the clearance and rigidity needed for clean radius generation at production feed rates.

This tool bit is suited for manual engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC turning applications where a left-hand cutting direction is required. The convex RXL style profile is commonly used to produce rounded shoulders, grooves, and blended transitions on shafts, pins, and other turned components. It is appropriate for job shops, maintenance machining environments, and production facilities working with a range of materials including steel, aluminum, and brass. Machinists specifying left-hand radius tooling for form turning operations will find this bit dimensionally consistent with standard RXL toolholder requirements.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip for extended tool life and resistance to heat and abrasion
• 9/32-inch convex radius for accurate form-cutting of rounded profiles
• Left-hand cutting direction for specific approach and clearance requirements
• 1/2-inch square shank for secure, repeatable seating in standard tool posts and holders
• RXL style geometry compatible with standard radius tool bit holders
• 3-1/2-inch overall length provides reach and rigidity for typical turning setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard toolroom cutting tool bit compatible with 1/2-inch square shank radius tool bit holders accepting RXL style inserts or brazed-tip bits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the lathe or turning center is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing or setting tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or holder to the appropriate clamping torque per the holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify tool height, approach angle, and clearance before taking a first cut, and confirm cutting direction matches machine setup to avoid climb-cutting or tool dig-in.
