Scientific Cutting Tools B2301000 Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B2301000 is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for tight-tolerance bores. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle configurations. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.23 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1 inch, this bar handles small-diameter finish and semi-finish boring where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on close-tolerance components will find this bar well-suited to production and jobshop turning environments.

This boring bar is used in internal turning and boring applications where small bore diameters demand a rigid, vibration-resistant tool. Typical applications include finish boring of bearing seats, hydraulic component bores, and precision-fit holes in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 5/16-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change tooling systems sized for that shank. The 2.5-inch overall length provides adequate reach for shallow to mid-depth bores while maintaining tool stiffness. It is appropriate for both production turning and prototype work requiring precise bore geometry.

Key Features

• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for superior hardness and edge retention
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.23 inches suits small-diameter internal turning applications
• Maximum bore depth of 1 inch with a 5/16-inch shank for rigid tool holding
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry for fine surface finishes
• 2.5-inch overall length balances reach with tool rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for boring bar holders accepting a 5/16-inch shank diameter on CNC and manual turning centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the boring bar. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped in the boring bar holder to the tool holder manufacturer specifications to prevent chatter or pull-out during the cut. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear before each use.
