Value Collection 375-1612 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1612 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. Tipped with C2 grade carbide, it handles general-purpose steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.4375 inches (7/16 inch) and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1.125 inches (1-1/8 inch). The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool-post clamping to minimize chatter and deflection during the cut. Overall length is 3.125 inches (3-1/8 inch). This tool is used by machinists in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments.

This boring bar is suited for light to medium-duty internal turning operations on manual lathes and CNC turning centers where a compact, small-shank boring tool is required. It is a practical choice for shops that need a reliable right-hand boring bar for short bores in small-diameter workpieces. The C2 carbide tip grade performs well on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and low-alloy steels under standard shop cutting conditions.

Key Features

• C2 grade carbide tip for general-purpose machining of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inch (0.4375 inches) for small internal bores
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inch (1.125 inches)
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for secure tool-post or block-holder mounting
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe tool-post orientation
• Compact 3-1/8 inch overall length suited for close-quarters tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement or addition for lathes and boring setups that accept a 3/4-inch shank boring bar with right-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the lathe is powered down before mounting or adjusting the boring bar in the tool post or holder. Set the cutting tip on center height and confirm the shank is clamped securely with adequate overhang only as needed to reach bore depth. Follow your machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
