Value Collection 375-1222 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1222 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining in metal-cutting applications. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.3125 inches (5/16 inches) and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1.125 inches (1-1/8 inches). The 1/2-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard boring bar holders and turrets. The C2 carbide-tipped insert grade handles general-purpose turning and boring on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. Overall length is 2-5/8 inches. Machinists and tool room technicians working on lathes and machining centers are the primary users of this bar.

This boring bar suits small-bore internal turning operations on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and turret-style setups. The right-hand cutting direction is the standard orientation for conventional lathe operation. Its compact overall length of 2-5/8 inches makes it appropriate for close-clearance boring applications where tooling space is limited. It is sold individually and is well suited for production shops, maintenance machining, and prototype work where a reliable general-purpose boring tool is needed.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped construction for extended tool life on general-purpose boring operations
• Minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches (0.3125 inches) for small-bore applications
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches (1.125 inches)
• 1/2-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard boring bar holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe and turning center use
• Compact 2-5/8 inch overall length suited for close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental boring bar for use in standard 1/2-inch boring bar holders on manual lathes and CNC turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and in a locked-out state per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the 1/2-inch shank firmly in the tool holder before operation. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before each use and replace the bar if the cutting edge is damaged. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
