It features a solid carbide tip ground to a C2 grade, suited for general-purpose turning, boring, chamfering, and interrupted cuts. The shank measures 5\/8 inch wide by 5\/8 inch tall, with an overall length of 4 inches and a nose radius of 1\/32 inch. The 15-degree lead angle geometry reduces chatter and distributes cutting forces along the edge, making this bit a practical choice for shops running production or job work on steel and cast iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is used in manual and CNC lathes across machine shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms. It is sized for standard lathe tool posts and holders that accept 5\/8-inch square shank tooling. Typical applications include external turning, face chamfering, and light interrupted cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The BL-style geometry with industry standard number BL-10 follows widely recognized tooling conventions, making it straightforward to source and replace within an existing tooling setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC2 solid carbide tip for wear resistance in general-purpose turning and boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15-degree lead angle reduces radial cutting forces and helps control chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/32-inch nose radius provides a balance between surface finish quality and edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for lathe setups requiring tool travel toward the tailstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBL-style geometry, industry standard number BL-10, for consistent replacement sourcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for lathe tool posts and holders accepting 5\/8-inch square shank single-point tool bits in the BL style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Secure the tool bit in a compatible tool holder or tool post, ensuring the shank is clamped firmly with no overhang beyond what the operation requires. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or adjusting the tool bit. Verify correct tool height and center alignment before engaging the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring, Chamfering, Interrupted Cuts, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68388175020338,"sku":"325","price":30.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/67710786a1ac3c79628c9f9687c92eca.jpg?v=1793904434","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-325-single-point-tool-bit-lh-c2-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
