Value Collection 375-1226 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1226 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter boring operations on lathes and boring machines. Tipped with C6-grade carbide, it handles general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous stock removal with reliable edge retention. The 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard toolpost holders and boring bar blocks. With a minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches, this bar is suited for small-bore finishing and light roughing work. Overall length is 2-5/8 inches. Machinists and toolroom operators working on short-run production or maintenance turning applications will find this a practical single-piece tooling option.

This boring bar is used in manual and CNC lathe setups where small internal diameters need to be opened, trued, or finished to tolerance. It is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance machining environments. The right-hand cutting direction means material is removed on a standard forward feed toward the chuck. Applications include through-boring and blind-bore work within its stated depth capacity of 1-1/8 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or adjusting the bar in the toolholder. Ensure the shank is clamped securely and the cutting tip is set on center height before engaging the workpiece. Follow shop safety practices and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting up tooling.
