Value Collection 375-1276 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1276 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a C6 carbide-tipped insert grade, this bar handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials with consistent cutting performance. The 1/2-inch shank diameter allows secure mounting in standard tool holders, while the 3-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most bench and engine lathe setups. Machinists and tool-room operators use this bar for finishing and light roughing passes where dimensional accuracy and surface finish matter.

This boring bar suits general-purpose shop applications including job shops, production machining, and maintenance-repair operations. It is well-suited for small-bore work where controlled stock removal is required. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional lathe rotation, making it a direct fit for most manual and CNC lathe setups without special tooling modifications.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped cutting edge for extended tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches suits tight-bore applications
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/2 inches covers typical shallow-bore requirements
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits common tool holders and boring bar holders
• 3-inch overall length provides rigid, compact reach

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or addition for standard 1/2-inch boring bar holders used in manual and CNC lathe setups requiring a right-hand, carbide-tipped boring bar.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with lathe tooling setup. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or adjusting the boring bar. Set the bar at center height and secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to minimize chatter and deflection. Verify boring depth stops and feeds are within the rated bore depth before beginning a cut.
