Value Collection 375-1482 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1482 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. Tipped with C2 carbide, it handles general-purpose turning and boring in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. The 5/8 inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard boring bar holders, while the 3-3/4 inch overall length keeps the setup compact and minimizes deflection. Machinists and tool and die technicians reach for this bar when opening up holes to a precise diameter within a minimum bore of 9/16 inch and a maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches.

This boring bar suits light to medium-duty operations in job shops, production machine shops, and maintenance departments. It is appropriate for use on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers when a right-hand cutting direction is specified. Typical applications include bore sizing, bore finishing, and cleanup of cast or drilled holes where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are required. The C2 carbide tip grade is well matched to interrupted cuts and general ferrous and non-ferrous boring work at moderate cutting speeds.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped insert for extended tool life and consistent cutting performance
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring mill setups
• Minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inch suits a wide range of production and repair boring tasks
• Maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches accommodates the majority of light to medium workpieces
• 5/8 inch shank diameter fits common boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts
• Compact 3-3/4 inch overall length reduces tool overhang and vibration tendency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental boring bar for standard 5/8 inch boring bar holders used on manual and CNC lathes requiring a right-hand, carbide-tipped tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before securing the bar in the tool holder. Ensure the shank is clamped with adequate contact length to prevent chatter and maintain bore accuracy. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting tool height and depth of cut.
