Internal Tool 10-1015 Boring Bar Right Hand Solid Carbide

Product Description

The INTERNAL TOOL 10-1015 is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal diameter work on small bores. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it provides the rigidity and edge retention needed for tight-tolerance boring operations. The right-hand cutting direction and 1/8-inch shank diameter make this bar suited for small-bore applications where standard tooling cannot reach. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.05 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.4 inches, it handles very small, shallow bores accurately. Overall length is 2 inches, and the bar features a 1.5-degree bar end angle with a 4-degree relief angle for clean chip clearance.

This boring bar is used in precision machining environments including CNC turning centers, manual lathes, and small-part machining cells. It is rated for universal primary workpiece materials, making it applicable across steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable alloys. The Series 10 designation places it in INTERNAL TOOL's small-bore boring bar lineup. Machinists and toolroom professionals in job shops, production facilities, and tooling departments are the primary users of this style of bar.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge stability
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring operations
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.05 inches enables work on very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.4 inches with matching 0.4-inch projection
• 1.5-degree bar end angle and 4-degree relief angle support clean chip evacuation
• 2-inch overall length provides toolholder clearance in confined setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for small-bore internal turning operations using 1/8-inch shank boring bar holders on CNC and manual turning equipment.

Installation Notes

This boring bar is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians into compatible 1/8-inch shank boring bar holders or tool blocks. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of chips before seating the bar. Secure the bar at the correct overhang to minimize deflection, keeping projection as short as the bore depth allows. Follow shop-standard clamping procedures and verify runout before cutting.
