Value Collection 375-1662 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1662 is a right-hand boring bar designed for internal boring operations on lathes and boring machines. Tipped with C2 carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and general-purpose workpiece materials. The bar handles a minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 3 inches, making it a practical choice for a wide range of through-bore and blind-bore applications. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding, and the 5-inch overall length suits standard toolpost and turret setups. Machinists and toolroom operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this bar straightforward to set up and run.

This boring bar is suited for use on manual engine lathes, CNC turning centers, and turret lathes where a right-hand cutting direction is required. It is appropriate for light to medium-duty internal turning and finish boring in both production runs and one-off machining jobs. The C2 carbide-tipped construction handles the wear demands of ferrous and non-ferrous materials commonly encountered in general machining.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped cutting edge for wear resistance on a broad range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring machine setups
• Minimum bore diameter of 9/16 inches supports moderate tight-bore applications
• Maximum bore depth of 3 inches accommodates through and blind bores in typical workpieces
• 3/4-inch shank diameter provides solid clamping rigidity in standard tool holders
• 5-inch overall length fits common toolpost and turret configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit boring bar for lathes and boring machines that accept a 3/4-inch shank diameter tool holder with right-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Before mounting, ensure the lathe or boring machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out per applicable shop safety procedures. Secure the 3/4-inch shank firmly in the tool holder with appropriate set screws torqued to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify cutting edge height and tool overhang before taking a trial pass.
