Value Collection 375-1262 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1262 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. It features a C2 carbide-tipped insert grade suited for general-purpose cutting in steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The 1/2 inch shank diameter provides a rigid tool-holding interface with standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts. With a minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches, this bar covers a practical range of small-bore finishing and semi-finishing applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this bar in production and job-shop environments where consistent bore geometry is required.

This boring bar is suited for small-bore internal turning operations on manual and CNC lathes. It handles through-hole and blind-hole configurations within its stated bore depth range. The right-hand cutting direction means the bar cuts when feeding toward the headstock in standard orientation. Typical applications include bore finishing, diameter cleanup after drilling, and light material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where a rigid, repeatable setup is needed.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped construction for general-purpose cutting performance on steel and cast iron
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches allows entry into small-diameter bores
• Maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches supports both shallow and moderate-depth boring passes
• 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolpost blocks
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe feed orientation
• 3-3/4 inch overall length provides tool-holder engagement while limiting overhang

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or addition for standard 1/2 inch boring bar holders used on manual and CNC lathes requiring right-hand internal boring tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before seating the bar in the tool holder. Minimize overhang beyond the holder to reduce chatter and deflection during the cut. Verify workholding and tool-holder set screws are fully torqued before initiating any spindle rotation.
