Value Collection 375-1622 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1622 is a right-hand boring bar designed for internal turning and bore finishing operations on lathes and boring machines. It features a C2 carbide-tipped insert grade, suited for general-purpose machining of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate cutting speeds. The shank diameter is 3/4 inches, the overall length is 3-11/16 inches, and the tool accepts a minimum bore diameter of 7/16 inches with a maximum bore depth of 1-11/16 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this bar for close-tolerance bore work where consistent chip control and tool rigidity are required.

This boring bar is appropriate for use in production and job-shop environments where right-hand cutting geometry is specified. It fits standard lathe tool posts and boring head setups that accept a 3/4-inch shank. Typical applications include finishing and semi-finishing of through-bores and blind bores in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The carbide-tipped construction makes it a practical choice for interrupted cuts or moderately hard materials where high-speed steel tooling would wear prematurely.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped grade for general-purpose machining of cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring machine setups
• 7/16-inch minimum bore diameter suits small-bore finishing applications
• 1-11/16-inch maximum bore depth for through and shallow blind-bore work
• 3/4-inch shank diameter fits common tool posts and boring heads
• 3-11/16-inch overall length provides consistent tool-post clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental boring bar for lathe tool posts and boring heads that accept a 3/4-inch round shank with right-hand cutting geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the boring bar. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or boring head holder to the full recommended engagement depth to minimize overhang and chatter. Verify cutting direction and tool height alignment before taking a test cut.
