Scientific Cutting Tools B060200A Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B060200A is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on small-diameter features. Built from submicron-grade carbide and finished with an AlTiN+ coating, it delivers hardness and heat resistance suited to demanding cutting environments. The bar has a minimum bore diameter of 0.06 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.200 inches (13/64 inches), making it appropriate for tight, shallow bore applications. The 1/8-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length keep the tool compact for work in confined setups. Right-hand cut geometry defines its feed and rotation direction. Machinists and toolroom operators working on CNC lathes and boring mills are the primary users.

This boring bar is suited for small-bore internal turning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. Its submicron carbide substrate and AlTiN+ coating make it a practical choice for harder workpiece materials and higher cutting speeds. Typical applications include bore finishing, diameter sizing, and light material removal in precision machining environments, both in production shops and job shops running small-part work.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide substrate for improved wear resistance and edge integrity
• AlTiN+ coating for enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life in harder materials
• Right-hand cut configuration for standard CNC lathe and boring mill setups
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.06 inches enables work on very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.200 inches (13/64 inches) suited for shallow precision bores
• Compact 1/8-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length for tight-clearance applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit boring bar for tool holders accepting a 1/8-inch round shank, commonly used in CNC lathes, turret lathes, and small-part boring fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the boring bar. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the minimum recommended overhang to reduce chatter and deflection. Verify bore depth and diameter setup with appropriate gauging before committing to a production run.
