Value Collection 375-1516 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1516 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on metal lathes and boring mills. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.6875 inches (11/16 inches) and reaches a maximum bore depth of 2.8125 inches (2-13/16 inches), making it well suited for a range of through-hole and blind-hole finishing tasks. The 5/8-inch shank diameter provides solid rigidity in standard tool holders. The C6 carbide-tipped insert grade offers good wear resistance and is appropriate for general-purpose machining of cast iron, steel, and similar ferrous materials. Overall length is 4-5/16 inches. This bar is typically used by machinists and tool-and-die technicians in job shop and production environments.

This boring bar is used in manual and CNC lathe setups where internal diameter finishing or enlargement is required. It is suited for residential machine shops, production facilities, and maintenance machining operations. The right-hand cutting direction means material is removed as the tool moves toward the chuck in standard lathe orientation. It is a practical choice for operators who need a reliable, off-the-shelf boring bar without custom grinding.

Key Features

• Minimum bore diameter of 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches) for tight bore entry
• Maximum bore depth of 2-13/16 inches (2.8125 inches) for deeper internal cuts
• C6 carbide-tipped grade provides durability on ferrous and general-purpose materials
• 5/8-inch shank diameter fits standard lathe and boring mill tool holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe operation
• Compact 4-5/16 inch overall length for stable tool overhang

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or addition for standard tool holders accepting a 5/8-inch shank boring bar in right-hand cutting configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Ensure the lathe or boring mill is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before securing the bar in the tool holder. Set tool height to centerline and minimize shank overhang to reduce chatter. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for tooling setup and speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
