It features a solid carbide tip graded C5, which provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for interrupted cuts, boring, chamfering, and general turning. The shank measures 5\/8 inch wide by 5\/8 inch tall, with an overall length of 4 inches. A 1\/32 inch nose radius completes the cutting geometry. This tool bit is intended for use by machinists and toolroom technicians working on manual or CNC lathes where a left-hand cutting direction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is suited for a range of lathe turning applications in production and job-shop environments. The 15-degree lead angle geometry makes it effective for facing, turning, and entry into interrupted or uneven workpiece surfaces. It is appropriate for both light finishing passes and moderate material removal in applications where solid carbide tooling is preferred over brazed insert or high-speed steel alternatives. Installation into a standard lathe tool holder or turret is straightforward for any qualified machinist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide tip, grade C5, for hardness and extended cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for specific lathe setup requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBL tool bit style with 15-degree lead angle geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8 inch by 5\/8 inch shank cross-section fits standard lathe tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/32 inch nose radius for controlled surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style single point tool bit for use in lathe tool holders accepting a 5\/8 inch shank, consistent with BL-style tooling standards per industry standard number BL-10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the lathe fully powered down and the spindle locked before seating the tool bit in the holder. Confirm the tool bit is clamped securely and set to the correct center height before beginning any cut. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chipping before use, particularly when the tool will be used on interrupted cuts. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures when handling carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Angle Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\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: C5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 degrees\u003c\/li\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\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring, Chamfering, Interrupted Cuts, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 326\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68388593107250,"sku":"326","price":57.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0a4e45008f11be49fcd8e958d94d3ee7.jpg?v=1793904659","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-326-single-point-tool-bit-lh-bl-c5-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
