Internal Tool 10-1225-A Boring Bar Right Hand Carbide

Product Description

The INTERNAL TOOL 10-1225-A is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal diameter work on lathes and boring machines. Built from micrograin carbide, it delivers tight tolerances and consistent tool life when machining a wide range of workpiece materials. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.1600 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.6000 inches, this bar handles small-diameter, moderate-depth bores. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2.5-inch overall length make it a compact, rigid choice for close-tolerance finish boring operations. Machinists and tool-room technicians are the primary end users.

This boring bar is suited for both manual and CNC lathe applications where small internal diameters must be held to close tolerances. Its universal primary workpiece material rating means it performs across steel, aluminum, cast iron, brass, and similar machinable materials. The compact overall length and short projection keep deflection low, supporting precise finishes in shallow bore applications. Job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments are the typical install scenarios for a bar of this specification.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life and sharp edge retention
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring machine setups
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.1600 inches enables work in very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.6000 inches with matching projection dimension for controlled reach
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits common small-bore toolholders and turret blocks
• 2.5-inch overall length provides compact, rigid geometry to minimize deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use boring bar for lathes and boring machines accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists familiar with lathe or CNC boring bar tooling. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or removing the bar from its holder. Ensure the shank is fully engaged in the toolholder to the recommended minimum grip depth before taking cuts. Verify tool height alignment to centerline prior to cutting to avoid chatter and premature edge wear.
