Value Collection 375-1056 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1056 is a right-hand boring bar designed for internal turning and bore finishing operations on a lathe. It features a C6 carbide-tipped insert grade, suited for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and general-purpose materials at moderate cutting speeds. The shank diameter is 3/8 inches, the minimum bore diameter is 3/8 inches, and the maximum bore depth is 1-13/32 inches. Overall length is 2-21/32 inches. The tool weighs 0.09 pounds, making it a compact, lightweight option for small-bore work on manual or CNC lathes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.

This boring bar is suited for small-bore internal machining in production and job-shop environments. It handles light to moderate stock removal in bores starting at 3/8 inches in diameter, with bore depth capacity up to 1-13/32 inches. Typical applications include finishing bores in workholding fixtures, bushings, sleeves, and small mechanical components. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional lathe rotation when boring from the tailstock end toward the headstock.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped grade for general-purpose machining of cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 3/8 inches enables work in tight, small-diameter bores
• Maximum bore depth of 1-13/32 inches suits shallow to mid-depth bore applications
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits common boring bar holders and tool posts
• Compact overall length of 2-21/32 inches reduces overhang and vibration tendency

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling option for 3/8-inch boring bar holders used on manual and CNC engine lathes requiring right-hand internal turning capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the boring bar holder with the tool tip at or near center height before engaging a cut. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Minimize overhang beyond the holder to reduce chatter and maintain bore accuracy.
