Value Collection 375-1722 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1722 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. Tipped with C2 carbide grade, it handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds. The bar accepts a minimum bore diameter of 13/16 inches (0.8125 inches) and reaches a maximum bore depth of 4-1/2 inches, making it a practical choice for through-holes and blind bores in production and job-shop environments. With a 3/4-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 6-1/2 inches, the 375-1722 fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change tool posts. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and operators of this tool.

This boring bar is suited for general-purpose internal turning operations in both manual and CNC lathe setups. It performs well in moderate-production scenarios where a consistent, repeatable bore finish is required. The right-hand cutting direction means it advances toward the headstock in standard lathe operation. Typical applications include enlarging drilled holes, finishing cast bores, and achieving close-tolerance internal diameters in steel, cast iron, and aluminum workpieces.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped insert grade for reliable performance on a wide range of workpiece materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 13/16 inches suits medium-sized bores without excessive tool overhang
• Maximum bore depth of 4-1/2 inches accommodates through-holes and deeper blind bores
• 3/4-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change tool posts
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe operation
• 6-1/2-inch overall length provides reach while maintaining rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or shop-supply boring bar compatible with standard 3/4-inch boring bar holders used on manual and CNC lathes.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be 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 holder. Secure the 3/4-inch shank firmly in the holder to minimize tool deflection and chatter, particularly at maximum bore depth. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting cutting speeds and feeds for carbide-tipped tooling.
