Value Collection 375-1422 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1422 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal turning and bore finishing operations on metal workpieces. Tipped with C2 grade carbide, it handles general-purpose boring on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials where a tough, wear-resistant cutting edge is required. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches, making it suited for small, shallow bore work. The 5/8-inch shank diameter provides solid tool post engagement, and the 2-5/8-inch overall length keeps the overhang manageable. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this bar on manual lathes and CNC turning centers.

This boring bar is intended for light-duty to medium-duty internal boring on a manual or CNC lathe. The right-hand cutting direction means the bar cuts as it feeds toward the headstock, which is the standard orientation for the majority of turning setups. The compact overall length and small minimum bore diameter make it a practical choice for small-diameter through-holes and blind bores in production and job-shop environments. It is sold individually and is ready to install directly into a standard boring bar holder.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped cutting edge for extended tool life on cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe feed applications
• Minimum bore diameter of 5/16 inches enables work in tight, small-diameter bores
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches suitable for shallow through and blind bore operations
• 5/8-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in standard boring bar holders
• Compact 2-5/8-inch overall length reduces overhang and chatter risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling addition for lathes and CNC turning centers equipped with boring bar holders accepting a 5/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, power down and lock out the lathe spindle per standard LOTO procedure. Seat the shank fully into the boring bar holder and torque the set screws evenly to minimize runout. Verify the cutting tip is on centerline height before beginning any boring operation to prevent chatter and premature tip wear.
