Scientific Cutting Tools B2301000A Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS B2301000A 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 with an AlTiN+ finish coating, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for tight-tolerance work in hardened steels, stainless, and other demanding materials. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.23 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1 inch, this bar is suited for small-diameter, shallow-bore applications where tool overhang and deflection must be minimized.

This boring bar is used in precision machining environments including job shops, toolrooms, and production floors. It is appropriate for residential shop use only where CNC lathe or manual lathe capability exists. The 5/16-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolpost systems commonly used on small to mid-size lathes. Machinists working on close-tolerance bores in small components, hydraulic fittings, medical parts, or similar precision workpieces will find this bar well suited to those applications.

Key Features

• Submicron solid carbide construction for superior rigidity and edge retention
• AlTiN+ finish coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in dry and semi-dry cutting conditions
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• 0.23-inch minimum bore diameter enables access to small-diameter internal features
• 1-inch maximum bore depth limits overhang for reduced deflection and chatter
• 5/16-inch shank diameter fits common boring bar holders and quick-change systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision boring bar for use in standard boring bar holders accepting a 5/16-inch shank diameter on CNC or manual lathes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in a boring bar holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for that holder - do not exceed the holder's rated grip depth. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the lathe is powered down before tool changes. Verify bore alignment and tool height before making a first cut to avoid tool deflection or workpiece damage.
