Value Collection 375-1076 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1076 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal turning and bore finishing operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a C6 carbide-tipped insert grade, it handles general-purpose machining on cast iron, steel, and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 3/8 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2-3/8 inches, keeping the setup compact for smaller workholding configurations. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this bar when opening existing holes to precise finished diameters in production and job-shop environments.

This boring bar is suited for light to medium-duty boring passes where the minimum bore diameter is 7/16 inches and maximum bore depth reaches 1-1/8 inches. It fits standard lathe tool posts and boring head setups that accept a 3/8-inch shank. The right-hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for conventional forward-feed lathe operations. Its compact overall length is well matched to benchtop and mid-size engine lathes commonly found in maintenance shops and production cells.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped construction for wear resistance on a range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard forward-feed lathe operations
• 7/16 inches minimum bore diameter accommodates small-bore finishing work
• 1-1/8 inches maximum bore depth suitable for shallow through and blind bore applications
• 3/8 inches shank diameter fits common lathe tool posts and boring heads
• Compact 2-3/8 inches overall length reduces overhang and vibration risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use boring bar compatible with lathe tool posts and boring head setups that accept a 3/8-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard lathe setup procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or boring head holder before operation, ensuring minimal overhang to reduce chatter. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds based on workpiece material.
