Value Collection 375-1486 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1486 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for precision internal turning and bore enlargement on lathes and boring machines. Tipped with C6 carbide grade material, it delivers consistent cutting performance on cast iron, steel, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches, making it well suited for short to mid-depth through and blind bore operations. The 5/8-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolpost systems. Overall length is 3-3/4 inches. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this bar.

This boring bar fits typical metalworking and machining shop applications where internal diameter finishing or roughing is required. It is appropriate for use on engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC turning centers equipped with a 5/8-inch shank boring bar holder. The right-hand cutting direction means the bar cuts as the carriage feeds toward the headstock, which is the standard orientation for the majority of lathe boring setups. It is suitable for small-batch production work, toolroom operations, and maintenance machining environments.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert grade for wear resistance on ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches enables work on small internal diameters
• Maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches covers short to mid-depth bore applications
• 5/8-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe feed toward headstock
• Compact 3-3/4-inch overall length reduces overhang and deflection risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit boring bar for lathes and turning centers equipped with a 5/8-inch shank boring bar holder accepting right-hand tooling.

Installation Notes

This bar is installed and set by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, power down and lock out the lathe or turning center per facility lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the boring bar holder with no more overhang than necessary to reach the required bore depth, as excess overhang increases deflection and chatter. Verify tool height is set to centerline before taking cuts.
