Value Collection 236-7 Single Point Tool Bit C5 Carbide Rh

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 236-7 is a BR-style single point tool bit designed for lathe turning operations requiring durability and consistent edge performance. The cutting tip is solid C5 carbide, a grade suited for interrupted cuts, chamfering, boring, and general turning on a range of workpiece materials. The shank measures 1 inch wide by 1 inch tall, and the overall length is 7 inches. A 1/32 inch nose radius and 15-degree lead angle define the cutting geometry, while the right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups. Machinists and toolroom operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this bit a direct-fit solution for heavy-duty single-point applications.

This tool bit is intended for use in metal-cutting lathes where a 1 inch square shank toolholder is installed. Typical applications include external turning, chamfering, and boring on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The C5 carbide tip grade is well matched to continuous and interrupted cuts at moderate-to-high surface speeds. The BR style designates the specific cutting-edge geometry per industry standard BR-16, making cross-referencing to compatible toolholders straightforward for experienced machinists.

Key Features

• C5 solid carbide tip for wear resistance in turning, boring, chamfering, and interrupted cuts
• BR-style geometry per industry standard BR-16
• 1 inch by 1 inch shank cross-section fits standard 1 inch square toolholders
• 7 inch overall length provides rigidity in typical lathe setups
• 15-degree lead angle with 1/32 inch nose radius
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit tool bit for lathes equipped with 1 inch square shank toolholders accepting BR-style single point bits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power off and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the shank is fully supported in the toolholder and the tip is set to the correct center height before resuming operation. Do not use a bit with a chipped or cracked carbide tip, as interrupted-cut applications amplify the risk of tip failure.
