Scientific Cutting Tools B100500A Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B100500A is a submicron solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal turning and bore finishing operations. It features a minimum bore diameter of 0.1 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.5 inches, making it well suited for small-diameter, tight-tolerance work. The shank diameter measures 0.125 inches with an overall length of 1.5 inches. An AlTiN+ finish coating improves hardness and heat resistance at the cutting edge, extending tool life in demanding cutting conditions. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this bar in CNC lathes and boring setups where access to small bores is required.

This boring bar is used in precision machining environments including job shops, production facilities, and toolrooms. It is suited for boring small internal diameters in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. The right-hand cutting direction means it is used with standard right-hand tool holding and conventional lathe rotation. Its compact overall length of 1.5 inches and small shank diameter make it appropriate for Swiss-style machines and small CNC lathes handling miniature components.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in small-bore applications
• AlTiN+ coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended cutting edge life
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.1 inches enables access to very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.5 inches suits shallow to moderate internal turning passes
• Right-hand cut orientation for use with standard toolholding and conventional lathe rotation
• Compact 1.5-inch overall length designed for small-machine and Swiss-style setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling selection for CNC lathes, Swiss-style machines, and small boring setups that accept a 0.125-inch shank diameter boring bar with right-hand cut geometry.

Installation Notes

This boring bar should be installed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Secure the shank firmly in a compatible boring bar holder or collet chuck rated for the shank diameter before initiating any cutting operation. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing the tool. Avoid overhang beyond the recommended depth-to-diameter ratio to minimize deflection and chatter in small-bore operations.
