Micro 100 QBB-050200X Boring Bar Solid Carbide Right Hand

Product Description

The MICRO 100 QBB-050200X is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.05 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 0.2000 inches (13/64 inches), making it well suited for tight, shallow bores where rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length keep the tool compact and stiff, minimizing deflection during the cut. Machinists and toolroom operators rely on solid carbide construction for superior wear resistance and the ability to hold tight tolerances in production or prototype environments.

This boring bar is intended for small-bore internal turning applications in metals and engineered plastics. Its right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups where the spindle rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the tailstock. The compact overall length of 1.5 inches makes it a practical choice for CNC turning centers and manual lathes where tool overhang must be minimized to maintain surface finish and dimensional control.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance in demanding bore operations
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.05 inches enables machining of very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.2000 inches (13/64 inches) for shallow precision bores
• Right-hand cutting direction for compatibility with standard lathe rotation
• 3/16-inch shank diameter keeps tool profile compact and reduces deflection
• 1.5-inch overall length suited for confined tool post and turret setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling selection for small-bore internal turning applications on CNC and manual lathes equipped with tool holders accepting a 3/16-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's setup guidelines. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder with minimal overhang to reduce vibration and deflection. Ensure the cutting edge is set to the correct centerline height before engaging the workpiece. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing or adjusting tooling.
