Value Collection 375-1452 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1452 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal boring operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a C2 carbide-tipped insert grade, it handles general-purpose turning and boring in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate cutting speeds. The shank diameter measures 5/8 inches, and the overall length is 3-3/16 inches. Minimum bore diameter is 7/16 inches, with a maximum bore depth of 1-11/16 inches. This bar is a practical choice for tool rooms, production shops, and maintenance machining environments where consistent, repeatable bore geometry is required.

This boring bar is suited for use in manual and CNC lathes as well as vertical and horizontal boring mills where the shank size and bore range match the application. It is appropriate for light to medium-duty internal diameter finishing and roughing passes in small-bore workpieces. Machinists working on bushings, housings, and similar components will find the 7/16 inch minimum bore diameter useful for tight-clearance work. The right-hand cutting direction means the bar feeds toward the headstock in standard lathe orientation.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped construction for general-purpose boring in cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe feed orientation
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches for small-bore applications
• Maximum bore depth of 1-11/16 inches
• 5/8 inch shank diameter for secure tool post or boring head clamping
• Compact 3-3/16 inch overall length reduces overhang and chatter risk

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank boring bar for use in tool holders, boring heads, and turrets accepting a 5/8 inch round shank, common on manual and CNC lathes in this bore size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before mounting or adjusting the boring bar in the tool holder. Ensure the shank is clamped with adequate contact length to minimize deflection during the cut. Always verify bore diameter and depth settings with a test pass before committing to final dimensions.
