Value Collection 375-1812 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1812 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal turning and bore enlargement operations on lathes and boring mills. The bar features a C2 carbide tip grade, which is suited for general-purpose cutting of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate cutting speeds. With a 1 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 5 inches, the 375-1812 provides the rigidity needed to maintain dimensional accuracy through the full 3 inch maximum bore depth. Minimum bore diameter capability starts at 9/16 inch, making it a practical choice for medium-bore applications.

This boring bar is intended for use in machine shop environments where precision internal diameter work is required. It is appropriate for manual engine lathes, CNC turning centers, and horizontal boring setups where a 1 inch shank tool holder is available. Typical applications include finish boring, rough boring, and diameter correction on workpieces in production or jobsite machining contexts. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance machinists working in fabrication or repair shops are the primary users of this tool.

Key Features

• C2 carbide-tipped cutting edge for general-purpose boring of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe and boring mill setups
• 9/16 inch minimum bore diameter allows entry into medium-sized bores
• 3 inch maximum bore depth provides reach for deeper internal operations
• 1 inch shank diameter fits standard heavy-duty tool holders
• 5 inch overall length balances reach and rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental boring bar for lathes and boring mills equipped with 1 inch shank tool holders accepting right-hand boring bar tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before mounting or changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder with adequate clamping engagement to minimize overhang and reduce chatter during the cut. Verify boring bar alignment and bore centerline before initiating the cut to maintain dimensional tolerance.
