Scientific Cutting Tools B100300A Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B100300A is a submicron solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal diameter finishing in small-bore applications. It cuts right-hand and features an AlTiN+ finish coating that extends tool life in ferrous and high-temperature alloy materials. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.1 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.3 inches, this bar is built for tight-tolerance work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 0.125-inch shank diameter and 1.5-inch overall length make it compatible with standard small-bore toolholders on CNC lathes and turning centers.

This boring bar is suited for precision machining operations in job shops, production turning cells, and tool rooms. It handles small internal diameter bores in materials including steel, stainless, cast iron, and high-temp alloys where the AlTiN+ coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection. Typical applications include finish boring of hydraulic valve bodies, medical components, aerospace fittings, and other parts requiring close-tolerance internal features. Machinists and CNC operators running small-diameter internal work will find this bar appropriate for both roughing passes at shallow depths and final finishing cuts.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention in small-bore operations
• AlTiN+ finish coating provides thermal and oxidation resistance in demanding materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard CNC lathe and turning center setups
• 0.1-inch minimum bore diameter enables access to very small internal features
• 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard small-bore toolholding systems
• 1.5-inch overall length suits compact toolholder setups with minimal overhang

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision boring bar for use in CNC lathes, turning centers, and manual lathes equipped with toolholders accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This bar is installed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or setting tooling. Minimize shank overhang beyond the toolholder to reduce chatter and deflection in small-bore work. Verify bore diameter and depth limits before beginning a cut to avoid tool breakage on this small-diameter bar.
