Value Collection 375-1442 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1442 is a right-hand boring bar designed for precision internal turning and boring operations on metal lathes and boring mills. Built with a C2 carbide-tipped insert, it delivers reliable cutting performance on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and general-purpose workpiece materials. The 5/8-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding, while the 2-5/8-inch overall length suits compact toolpost and turret setups. A minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inch and maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches define the usable envelope. Machinists and toolroom technicians reach for this bar when finish-boring holes to close tolerances in production or job-shop environments.

This boring bar is suited for light to medium internal boring tasks on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and engine lathes running non-ferrous or ferrous workpieces within its specified bore range. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional lathe operation where the tool feeds from right to left toward the chuck. It fits tool holders and boring bar holders sized for a 5/8-inch round shank, which is a common size across most mid-range lathe toolpost systems.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped cutting edge for durability on cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe feed orientation
• 7/16-inch minimum bore diameter suits small-diameter internal boring applications
• 1-1/8-inch maximum bore depth for shallow-to-medium internal cuts
• 5/8-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in compatible tool holders
• Compact 2-5/8-inch overall length for use in tight toolpost clearances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard right-hand boring bar for use in tool holders and boring bar holders that accept a 5/8-inch round shank diameter on manual and CNC turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before mounting or removing the boring bar. Secure the shank fully within the tool holder to the required engagement depth before operation to prevent tool pullout or chatter. Verify cutting edge height alignment to centerline before beginning any bore operation.
