Value Collection 375-1726 Carbide-tipped Boring Bar C6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1726 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter turning and bore finishing operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a C6 carbide-tipped insert grade, it handles general-purpose steel, cast iron, and similar materials at moderate to high cutting speeds. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides solid tool post engagement, while the 6.5-inch overall length gives adequate reach for a variety of workholding setups. Machinists and toolroom operators rely on this style of boring bar for producing accurate bores with consistent surface finish in both production and job-shop environments.

This boring bar is suited for conventional engine lathes, CNC turning centers, and manual boring mills where right-hand cutting direction is required. It handles a minimum bore diameter of 0.8125 inches and a maximum bore depth of 4.5 inches, making it appropriate for medium-depth bore work in steel and cast iron components. Typical applications include shaft bores, housing bores, and through-holes requiring close-tolerance finishing passes. It fits standard 3/4-inch tool holders and is sold individually.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped construction for general-purpose cutting in steel and cast iron
• Minimum bore diameter of 13/16 inches (0.8125 inches) for tight-access internal turning
• Maximum bore depth of 4.5 inches allows medium-depth boring passes without tool extension issues
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for secure seating in standard lathe tool posts and holders
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard lathe rotation
• 6.5-inch overall length balances reach and rigidity for typical turning setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling addition for lathes and boring machines that accept a 3/4-inch shank boring bar with right-hand cutting direction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the boring bar. Seat the shank fully in the tool post or holder and tighten securely before beginning any cutting operation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for tool overhang and speed-feed selection.
