Harvey Tool 29180 Boring Bar Solid Carbide Right Hand

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 29180 is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal diameter machining in metal cutting applications. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.1800 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1 inch, this right-hand cutting tool is built for tight-tolerance work in small-bore applications. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length make it well-suited for use in CNC lathes, turning centers, and manual lathes where compact tooling is required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select solid carbide boring bars for their rigidity and wear resistance in high-precision bores.

This boring bar is intended for shops performing precision internal turning on small-diameter features. It is commonly used in production machining, tool rooms, and job shops where bore size and surface finish tolerances are critical. The right-hand cutting orientation suits standard spindle rotation on most CNC and manual turning equipment. Applications include finishing bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where a small shank profile is necessary to reach depth without interference.

Key Features

• Minimum bore diameter of 0.1800 inches for small-bore internal machining
• Maximum bore depth of 1 inch suits a range of shallow to moderate internal features
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits compact toolholders and small-bore setups
• 2-inch overall length allows use in standard tool blocks and turrets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style boring bar for use in CNC and manual lathes or turning centers equipped with toolholders accepting a 3/16-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and in a locked-out state per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the shank is properly clamped in the toolholder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before running. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fail without visible warning. Follow your machine tool builder guidelines for feeds, speeds, and coolant application appropriate to the workpiece material.
