Value Collection 375-1036 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1036 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal bore finishing and enlarging operations on a lathe or boring machine. Tipped with C6-grade carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance on cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 3/8 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2.75 inches. It handles a minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1.5 inches. Machinists and toolroom operators use this bar for precision internal turning where tight tolerances and smooth finishes are required.

This boring bar is suited for light to medium-duty internal turning applications in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments. Its compact overall length and small minimum bore diameter make it well matched for small-bore work on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and boring mills. The right-hand cutting direction means material is removed as the tool moves toward the spindle headstock in standard lathe orientation. It ships individually and is appropriate for single-use setups or as a replacement in an existing boring bar set.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert for extended tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• Minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches enables small-bore internal turning
• Maximum bore depth of 1.5 inches suitable for shallow to medium depth bores
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits common lathe tool holders and boring bar blocks
• Compact 2.75-inch overall length reduces overhang and chatter risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard boring bar for use in lathe tool posts, turrets, and boring bar holders that accept a 3/8-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the lathe or machine spindle before mounting or removing the boring bar. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder with no more overhang than necessary to reach the bore depth, as excess overhang increases deflection and chatter. Verify cutting edge height is set to spindle centerline before beginning the cut.
