Value Collection 375-1292 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1292 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.5625 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 3 inches, making it well suited for through-bore and blind-bore operations in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1/2-inch shank diameter provides solid clamping in standard tool holders, and the C2 carbide-tipped insert grade delivers reliable wear resistance and edge retention across general-purpose turning applications. Overall length is 4.5 inches. This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working in production and maintenance environments.

This boring bar is appropriate for light to medium-duty internal turning operations on manual and CNC lathes. It is commonly used when enlarging, finishing, or correcting bored holes to precise tolerances. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation on conventional setups. It is a practical choice for job shops, maintenance facilities, and production floors requiring a compact, ready-to-use boring tool without the need for insert replacement tooling.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped construction for wear resistance on general-purpose boring operations
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.5625 inches suits tight-clearance bore entry
• Maximum bore depth of 3 inches handles a wide range of workpiece thicknesses
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe spindle rotation
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits common tool post and boring head holders
• Compact 4.5-inch overall length reduces overhang and chatter risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fit for tool holders and boring heads accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter boring bar in right-hand cutting configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the boring bar. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for that holder; do not exceed shank protrusion beyond what is needed for the bore depth. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool if the cutting edge is compromised.
