Sandvik Coromant 7968168 Boring Bar 6mm Shank

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 7968168 is a boring bar designed for precision internal machining operations. It features a 6.00 mm shank diameter and an overall length of 47.25 mm, making it well suited for tight-bore and small-diameter applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Boring bars of this type are used to enlarge, finish, or true up existing bores in metal workpieces. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators working in production or job-shop environments. Its compact form factor supports use in small-bore toolholders on lathes, machining centers, and boring mills.

This boring bar fits applications requiring precise internal diameter finishing in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 6.00 mm shank diameter and 47.25 mm overall length target small-bore work common in precision component manufacturing, mold and die work, and general metal removal operations. It is a single-piece replacement-style tool intended for direct installation into compatible boring bar holders or tooling blocks.

Key Features

• 6.00 mm shank diameter for compatibility with small-bore toolholding systems
• 47.25 mm overall length supports controlled reach in confined bore geometries
• Compact, lightweight construction at 0.06 pounds
• Single-piece replacement tool with one unit per package
• UNSPSC Code 23241601 for standardized procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement boring bar for toolholding systems that accept a 6.00 mm shank diameter. Confirm holder bore diameter and clamping requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is locked out before inserting or removing the boring bar from its holder. Use the appropriate torque on clamping screws per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Do not exceed the recommended overhang or depth-of-cut limits for the shank diameter to avoid deflection or tool failure.
