Value Collection 375-1706 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1706 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. The cutting insert is C6-grade carbide, suited for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting at moderate to high surface speeds. With a 13/16-inch minimum bore diameter and a 2-1/4-inch maximum bore depth, this bar handles a practical range of internal turning operations. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard quick-change and static toolpost setups. Overall length is 4-1/4 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This boring bar is appropriate for job shop and production turning applications where right-hand cutting direction is required. It is suited for through-bore and blind-bore operations on mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The C6 carbide grade is a general-purpose classification for medium to rough interrupted and continuous cuts on cast iron and non-ferrous materials, making this bar a practical choice for first-pass and finish-pass boring within its stated depth and diameter range. It is typically held in a standard 3/4-inch boring bar holder on engine lathes and turret lathes.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped cutting edge for durability on general-purpose metal-cutting operations
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe turning orientation
• 13/16-inch minimum bore diameter supports a range of small-to-mid-diameter internal turning tasks
• 2-1/4-inch maximum bore depth allows adequate reach for shallow to mid-depth bores
• 3/4-inch shank diameter fits common quick-change and static toolpost holders
• 4-1/4-inch overall length provides stable overhang clearance in typical setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or add-to-stock boring bar for any lathe or boring mill equipped with a 3/4-inch boring bar holder accepting right-hand tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before securing or removing tooling. Set the bar in a 3/4-inch boring bar holder and ensure minimum overhang beyond the holder to reduce chatter. Verify cutting edge height is on or slightly above center before taking a cut. Follow shop safety practices and applicable machine guarding requirements when operating.
