Value Collection 375-1652 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1652 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 9/16 inches (0.5625 inches) and reaches a maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches, making it well-suited for a range of light to medium-duty boring operations. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides solid tool post engagement, while the C2 carbide-tipped insert grade offers reliable wear resistance on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and general-purpose materials. Overall length is 4-1/4 inches. The part weighs 0.43 pounds.

This boring bar is appropriate for production and job shop environments where consistent internal bore finishes are required. It suits manual engine lathes, CNC turning centers with appropriate tooling setups, and horizontal boring applications. The right-hand cutting direction means the tool cuts toward the headstock in standard lathe orientation. Machinists and toolroom operators working on bushings, housings, and bored holes in workholding fixtures will find this bar a direct-fit general-purpose option.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped construction for extended tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches suits tight-clearance internal boring work
• Maximum bore depth of 2-1/4 inches covers a broad range of workpiece depths
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in standard tool posts and holders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe operation
• Compact 4-1/4 inch overall length reduces overhang and chatter risk

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or addition for standard tool posts and boring bar holders accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter in manual and CNC turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or adjusting the boring bar in the tool post or holder. Ensure the cutting edge is set to centerline height before commencing a cut, and confirm shank clamp torque per the machine tool manufacturer's specification. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use and replace if damage is observed.
