Value Collection 375-1446 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1446 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal boring operations on metal lathes and boring machines. Tipped with C6 carbide grade material, it handles general-purpose turning and boring in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys at moderate cutting speeds. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches, making it suited for small-diameter, shallow-bore applications. With a 5/8-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2-5/8 inches, it mounts securely in standard lathe toolpost holders. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This boring bar is used in production machining, maintenance shops, and toolroom environments where small internal diameters need to be opened, finished, or trued. It is appropriate for both manual lathe setups and light-duty CNC lathe applications where the spindle bore and tool block accommodate a 5/8-inch shank. The right-hand cutting direction means material feeds from right to left in conventional lathe orientation. Its compact overall length suits benchtop lathes and smaller engine lathes commonly found in repair and prototype shops.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert for general-purpose boring in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches for small internal diameter work
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches suits shallow through and blind bore applications
• 5/8-inch shank diameter fits standard lathe toolpost and boring bar holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe feed orientation
• Compact 2-5/8 inches overall length for use in smaller machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock boring bar for manual and light-duty CNC lathes equipped with toolpost holders accepting a 5/8-inch round shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before securing the boring bar in the toolpost or boring bar holder. Ensure the cutting tip is set at the correct center height relative to the workpiece centerline before beginning any cut. Do not exceed the maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches in a single setup without verifying rigidity and tool overhang.
