Value Collection 375-1696 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1696 is a right-hand boring bar designed for internal turning and bore enlargement operations on lathes and boring machines. The cutting tip is C6 carbide-tipped, a grade suited for general-purpose machining of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. The shank measures 3/4 inches in diameter and the overall length is 5-3/4 inches. A minimum bore diameter of 11/16 inches and a maximum bore depth of 3-3/4 inches make this bar appropriate for a broad range of production and maintenance turning applications. Machinists and toolroom operators are the primary users.

This boring bar fits standard lathe tool posts and boring setups that accept a 3/4-inch round shank. It is suited for job-shop, production floor, and maintenance turning environments where right-hand cutting geometry is required. The C6 carbide-tipped insert provides improved wear resistance compared to high-speed steel, making it a practical choice for shops running moderate production volumes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped cutting edge for wear resistance in general-purpose turning
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• 11/16 inches minimum bore diameter accommodates a wide range of bore sizes
• 3-3/4 inches maximum bore depth for deeper internal features
• 3/4 inches shank diameter fits common tool post and holder configurations
• 5-3/4 inches overall length provides reach for typical lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit boring bar for lathe tool posts and boring bar holders accepting a 3/4-inch round shank with right-hand cutting geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or boring bar holder before operation and verify tool height is set to center before engaging the workpiece. Power down the machine and lock out all energy sources before mounting or removing the boring bar. Do not exceed the rated bore depth and ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent chatter or tool deflection.
