Scientific Cutting Tools B120600A Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B120600A is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal turning and bore finishing operations on CNC lathes and machining centers. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide and coated with AlTiN+, it delivers high wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding cutting conditions. The right-hand cutting geometry suits standard tooling setups, while the 0.12-inch minimum bore diameter makes it well suited for small-bore applications. Overall length is 2 inches, with a 3/16-inch shank diameter and a maximum bore depth of 0.6 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians select this bar when accuracy and tool life in tight-bore work are the priority.

This boring bar is intended for small-bore internal machining operations typical in precision manufacturing, aerospace component work, and medical part production. Its submicron carbide grade performs consistently in interrupted cuts and high-speed finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The AlTiN+ coating extends tool life in dry or minimal-lubrication cutting environments. It is sized for use in shops running small-diameter bore work where standard boring bars are too large to reach minimum bore requirements.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• AlTiN+ finish coating for high-temperature wear resistance and extended tool life
• 0.12-inch minimum bore diameter for access in tight, small-bore applications
• Maximum bore depth of 0.6 inches suits shallow to mid-depth internal operations
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC lathe tooling orientation
• 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length for compact, rigid tool setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision boring bar for CNC lathes and machining centers equipped to accept a 3/16-inch shank boring bar in right-hand cutting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before securing the boring bar in the tool holder. Ensure the shank is clamped to the full recommended engagement depth to minimize overhang and chatter. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier guidelines for feed rate and speed selection based on workpiece material and bore diameter.
