Value Collection 375-1086 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1086 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. The C6 carbide tip grade provides good wear resistance on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds. With a 3/8 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2-15/16 inches, this bar is sized for smaller toolholders and compact setups. It handles a minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1-11/16 inches, making it well suited for shallow precision bores in production and jobshop environments. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users.

This boring bar is used in manual and CNC lathe operations where internal diameter finishing or single-point boring is required. The right-hand cutting direction means it advances toward the headstock in standard lathe orientation. It is appropriate for light to moderate material removal in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The compact shank size suits bench lathes, turret lathes, and CNC turning centers equipped with small-bore toolholders. It is commonly used in maintenance shops, production facilities, and vocational machine shops where a reliable, ready-to-run boring bar is needed without regrinding setup.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert grade for wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches supports small-diameter internal machining
• Maximum bore depth of 1-11/16 inches for shallow to moderate depth bores
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits common small-bore toolholders
• Compact overall length of 2-15/16 inches reduces overhang and vibration risk

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit boring bar for lathes and turning centers equipped with 3/8 inch shank toolholders requiring right-hand cutting direction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder to the appropriate clamping depth before operation, minimizing overhang to reduce chatter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing or adjusting tooling. Verify bore diameter clearance before plunging to prevent interference with the workpiece bore walls.
