Value Collection 375-1672 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1672 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. Tipped with C2 carbide grade tooling, it delivers reliable cutting performance in cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar general-purpose workpiece materials. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 0.6875 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 1.875 inches, with a 3/4 inch shank diameter for secure toolholder clamping. Overall length is 3.875 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this bar for precision ID boring operations where consistent geometry and surface finish are required.

This boring bar is suited for general-purpose production and repair machining in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional lathe rotation and is compatible with most OD-style boring toolholders designed to accept a 3/4 inch shank. It is appropriate for through-bore and blind-bore applications within its rated depth capacity.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped cutting edge for durability on cast iron and non-ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 0.6875 inches for tight-clearance ID work
• Maximum bore depth of 1.875 inches accommodates a range of workpiece thicknesses
• 3/4 inch shank diameter fits standard boring toolholders
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe rotation
• Compact 3.875 inches overall length for reduced overhang and improved rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental boring bar for use in standard lathe and boring mill toolholders accepting a 3/4 inch round shank with right-hand cutting orientation.

Installation Notes

Boring bar installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with lathe or boring mill setup procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or adjusting the toolholder. Minimize shank overhang beyond the toolholder to reduce chatter and maintain bore geometry. Verify workpiece clamping and tool runout before taking finish passes.
