Value Collection 1000 Fl Offset End Cutting Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1000 is a single-point lathe tool bit configured in the FL style with an offset end cutting geometry. It features a 1/2 x 1/2 inch shank cross-section and an overall length of 3.5 inches. The cutting tip is ground from solid carbide at grade C2, providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in turning and facing operations. A nose radius of 1/32 inch is ground into the tip for controlled chip formation and surface finish. This tool bit is installed and used by machinists and CNC lathe operators working with metal-cutting lathes in production or job-shop environments.

This tool bit is designed for left-hand cutting applications. Its offset end cutting geometry makes it suited for turning and facing to a shoulder and for work positioned close to the chuck jaw where clearance is limited. It fits standard lathe tool holders accepting a 1/2 x 1/2 inch shank. Typical applications include ferrous and non-ferrous metal turning in both manual and CNC lathe setups where a solid carbide C2-grade tip is appropriate for the material and cutting speed being used.

Key Features

• FL-style offset end cutting geometry for shoulder turning and close-to-chuck-jaw work
• Left-hand cutting direction
• Solid carbide tip at grade C2 for hardness and wear resistance
• 1/32 inch nose radius for controlled chip formation
• 1/2 x 1/2 inch shank fits standard lathe tool holders
• 3.5 inch overall length provides reach in typical lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard lathe tool holders accepting a 1/2 x 1/2 inch square shank single-point tool bit with FL-style geometry. Industry Standard Number FL-8.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or lathe operator. Before changing tool bits, disengage the lathe spindle and confirm the machine is at a full stop. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the full recommended engagement depth to minimize overhang and chatter. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool bit if the cutting edge is compromised.
