Value Collection 375-1816 Boring Bar C6 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1816 is a right-hand carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter machining on lathes and boring mills. The cutting tip is C6 carbide grade, suited for general-purpose machining of steel, cast iron, and similar materials. With a 9/16-inch minimum bore diameter and a 3-inch maximum bore depth, this bar handles a practical range of hole-finishing and diameter-enlarging operations. The 1-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts. Overall length is 5 inches. The bar weighs 2 pounds. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers for this type of tooling.

This boring bar is intended for use on manual and CNC lathes, turret lathes, and boring mills where a right-hand cutting direction is required. It is well suited to production and job-shop environments performing finish boring, rough boring, or diameter correction on workpieces with bore openings at or above 9/16 inch. The 3-inch depth capacity accommodates through-bore and blind-bore work within that range. The C6 carbide-tipped construction supports interrupted cuts and moderate feed rates typical of general metalworking applications.

Key Features

• C6 carbide-tipped insert for general-purpose machining durability
• 9/16-inch minimum bore diameter supports small to mid-range bore work
• 3-inch maximum bore depth for through and blind bore applications
• 1-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe setup
• 5-inch overall length provides reach and clearance in typical setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit boring bar for lathes and boring mills accepting a 1-inch round shank, with right-hand tool orientation.

Installation Notes

Boring bars of this type are installed and adjusted by machinists. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the bar from the tool holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped to the holder manufacturer's specifications before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the maximum bore depth of 3 inches, as overhang beyond rated depth increases deflection and chatter risk.
