Value Collection 375-1012 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1012 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for precision internal turning and boring operations on metalworking lathes. Built with a C2-grade carbide tip, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. It accepts a 3/8-inch shank, handles a minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches, and reaches a maximum bore depth of 3/4 inches. The 2-inch overall length keeps the tool compact for use in smaller workholding setups. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians rely on this style of bar for tight-tolerance bore finishing in short-run and production environments.

This boring bar is suited for use on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers where small-bore internal diameter work is required. Its right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional lathe rotation for standard boring passes. The compact overall length and 3/8-inch shank diameter make it a practical choice for light-duty boring applications in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production machining operations where small bore diameters are common.

Key Features

• C2-grade carbide-tipped insert for wear resistance on cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation
• 5/16-inch minimum bore diameter accommodates small internal bore work
• 3/4-inch maximum bore depth suitable for shallow to medium bore passes
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits common toolpost and boring bar holders
• 2-inch overall length for compact, low-overhang setup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental boring bar for manual and CNC turning centers equipped with a 3/8-inch boring bar holder or toolpost with appropriate bore size capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the 3/8-inch shank firmly in the toolholder and minimize overhang to reduce chatter during the cut. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before mounting or removing the boring bar. Verify workpiece clamping and confirm tool centerline alignment before beginning a boring pass.
