Value Collection 375-1526 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1526 is a right-hand boring bar designed for precision internal turning and bore enlargement operations on metal lathes and boring machines. Built with a C6 carbide-tipped insert, it handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials at elevated cutting speeds. The shank diameter measures 5/8 inches, the minimum bore diameter is 11/16 inches (0.6875 inches), and the overall length is 5.25 inches. Maximum bore depth reaches 3.75 inches, making it suitable for moderate-depth boring passes in production and job shop environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this tooling.

This boring bar is suited for use on manual engine lathes, CNC turning centers, and horizontal boring machines where right-hand cutting direction is required. It is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes within its bore diameter range. Typical applications include bore sizing, bore truing, and blind-hole finishing in steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpieces in light manufacturing and maintenance machining contexts.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped cutting edge for extended tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring machine setup
• 11/16 inch minimum bore diameter accommodates common bore sizing tasks
• 3.75 inch maximum bore depth allows moderate-depth internal machining
• 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard tool holders and boring head setups
• Compact 5.25 inch overall length for use in space-restricted setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank replacement boring bar compatible with tool holders and boring heads accepting a 5/8 inch round shank in right-hand orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank firmly in a tool holder or boring head, ensuring the cutting tip is on centerline with the workpiece spindle axis before making any cuts. Power down and lock out the machine before adjusting tool height or tightening set screws. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA machining guidelines when operating at cutting speed.
