Micro 100 BB-160500S Boring Bar Solid Carbide Right Hand

Product Description

The MICRO 100 BB-160500S is a solid carbide boring bar designed for internal diameter boring operations on CNC and manual lathes. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.5 inches, this bar handles tight-tolerance finish work in small bores. The bright, uncoated carbide construction provides rigidity and edge retention in steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length make it a compact tool suited for close-quarter setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this bar as a production or job-shop finishing tool where bore geometry and surface finish are critical.

This boring bar is used in precision machining environments including production turning cells, toolrooms, and job shops. It is appropriate for right-hand cut operations where the tool feeds from right to left on a conventional lathe setup. The compact overall length of 2 inches suits short-reach applications in parts with shallow internal cavities. The 0.0663-inch offset supports accurate bore sizing without excessive tool deflection at these small diameters.

Key Features

• Minimum bore diameter of 0.16 inches for small-bore internal turning
• Maximum bore depth of 0.5 inches suited for shallow internal cavities
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe feed orientation
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits compact toolholders and boring bar holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision boring bar for use with toolholders accepting a 3/16-inch round shank diameter in conventional and CNC lathe setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with lathe tooling setup. Secure the shank firmly in the boring bar holder with proper overhang minimized to reduce deflection. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or adjusting tooling. Verify bore alignment and tool centerline height before taking a finishing pass.
