Value Collection 375-1616 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1616 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. It accepts a minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches, making it suited for light to medium-duty boring operations. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides solid tool holding in standard boring bar holders. The C6 carbide-tipped insert grade offers good wear resistance and is a practical choice for machining steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with manual or CNC turning equipment will find this a straightforward, workhorse bar for common bore sizes.

This boring bar fits typical lathe and boring mill setups requiring a compact, rigid tool for smaller bore diameters. It is appropriate for job shop, maintenance, and production environments where consistent bore geometry is needed in ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard forward-feed turning operations. With an overall length of 3-1/8 inches, the bar fits compact tool posts and smaller lathes without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped construction provides wear resistance for ferrous and general-purpose machining
• Minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches suits small-bore internal turning applications
• Maximum bore depth of 1-1/8 inches covers typical shallow to medium bore requirements
• 3/4-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and tool posts
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional forward-feed lathe operation
• Compact 3-1/8-inch overall length reduces overhang and supports rigidity

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard boring bar holders and tool posts accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter on manual or CNC lathes and boring mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard shop safety procedures. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder with minimal overhang to reduce chatter and deflection. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before setting tool height or adjusting the bar position. Verify shank clamping torque meets the tool holder manufacturer specifications before beginning a cut.
