Value Collection 375-1046 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1046 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on lathes and boring machines. Tipped with C6 carbide grade material, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for cutting steel, cast iron, and similar materials in production and maintenance machining environments. The bar has a 3/8 inch minimum bore diameter and a 15/16 inch maximum bore depth, making it well suited for small-diameter, shallow-bore work. With a 3/8 inch shank diameter and a 2-3/16 inch overall length, it fits standard tool holders commonly found in small to mid-size lathes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This boring bar is appropriate for shop environments performing light to medium internal turning and boring tasks. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production settings where small-bore diameters are required. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups with conventional spindle rotation. Its compact overall length makes it a practical choice for tight setups and smaller workpieces where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert grade for hardness and wear resistance on ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe spindle rotation
• 3/8 inch minimum bore diameter for small internal bore applications
• 15/16 inch maximum bore depth suitable for shallow boring operations
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard small-lathe tool holders
• Compact 2-3/16 inch overall length for use in tight setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use boring bar for small lathes and boring machines that accept a 3/8 inch shank diameter tooling with right-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

This boring bar is installed and used by machinists on engine lathes or boring machines. Before mounting, ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the correct center height to avoid chatter and tool deflection. Verify that cutting direction and spindle rotation are matched before initiating a cut.
