Scientific Cutting Tools B120600 Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B120600 is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal turning and bore finishing operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from submicron-grade carbide, this bar offers the rigidity and wear resistance required for tight-tolerance bores in hardened materials and challenging alloys. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.12 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 0.6 inches, making it well suited for small-diameter internal work where tool deflection must be minimized. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length keep the setup compact and rigid at the spindle.

This boring bar is intended for small-bore applications in precision machining environments, including job shops, toolrooms, and production turning cells. Its right-hand cut orientation suits standard lathe setups where the spindle rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the tailstock. The uncoated submicron carbide construction is a common choice when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion or thermal interaction is a concern. Machinists and CNC operators working with tight bore tolerances and fine surface finish requirements will find this bar appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing passes.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance in small-bore work
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.12 inches enables access to very small internal diameters
• Maximum bore depth of 0.6 inches supports through and blind-bore finishing passes
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard lathe rotation setups
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits common small-bore tool holders and lathe turrets
• Uncoated finish retains sharp edge geometry without coating buildup at the cutting edge

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style boring bar for use in CNC and manual lathe tool holders accepting a 3/16-inch shank diameter with right-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the boring bar from the tool holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped to the tool holder manufacturer's specified torque range using appropriate set screws. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or damage before each use, and confirm bore diameter and depth settings with a test pass before committing to a finishing cut.
