Scientific Cutting Tools B180750 Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B180750 is a solid carbide boring bar engineered for precision internal boring operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from submicron-grade carbide, this right-hand-cut tool delivers consistent dimensional accuracy in tight-tolerance bore work. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.18 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 0.75 inches. The 0.25-inch shank diameter and 2.5-inch overall length make it well-suited for small-bore applications where rigidity and reach must be balanced. Machinists and toolroom operators working with small diameter internal features rely on this class of tool for clean, chatter-resistant cuts.

This boring bar is intended for small-bore internal turning applications in production and job-shop environments. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where submicron carbide grade offers the hardness and wear resistance needed for repeatable finish quality. The uncoated finish suits applications where coating buildup or edge prep would interfere with precision at small diameters. Typical installation scenarios include boring pre-drilled holes to final diameter on CNC turning centers or manual lathes equipped with a boring bar holder sized for a 0.25-inch shank.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for high hardness and wear resistance in precision boring
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.18 inches enables work in very small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.75 inches provides adequate reach for typical small-bore applications
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation on most lathes
• 0.25-inch shank diameter fits common boring bar holders and quick-change tooling systems
• Uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry at small diameters without coating interference

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide boring bar for use in any turning center or manual lathe equipped with a boring bar holder accepting a 0.25-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and serviced by machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with lathe tooling setup. Before mounting or removing the boring bar, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all energy sources are isolated per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized boring bar holder to minimize overhang and reduce the risk of chatter or tool deflection during the cut. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer guidelines for feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
