Value Collection 375-1872 Boring Bar C2 Carbide-tipped

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 375-1872 is a right-hand, carbide-tipped boring bar designed for internal diameter boring operations on lathes and boring mills. Tipped with C2 grade carbide, it handles a minimum bore diameter of 1.625 inches and reaches a maximum bore depth of 7.5 inches. The 1-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard boring bar holders and turrets. Overall length is 9.5 inches, giving the tool enough reach for deeper interrupted-cut and through-bore applications. Machinists and tool room operators use this bar where consistent diameter control and surface finish are required in steel and cast iron workpieces.

This boring bar suits general-purpose turning and boring work in job shop, production machining, and maintenance machining environments. Its right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional lathe setups where the spindle rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the tailstock. The C2 carbide tip grade is well suited to continuous cuts in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds.

Key Features

• C2 grade carbide tip for wear resistance on ferrous materials
• Minimum bore diameter of 1.625 inches suits a wide range of bore sizes
• Maximum bore depth of 7.5 inches for deep bore and through-bore applications
• 1-inch shank diameter fits standard boring bar holders and quick-change toolposts
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe and boring mill setups
• 9.5-inch overall length provides extended reach without sacrificing rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental boring bar for lathes and boring mills equipped with a 1-inch boring bar holder or tool block.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with lathe tooling setup. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or adjusting the boring bar in the tool holder. Ensure the bar is clamped with adequate shank engagement to minimize overhang-induced vibration. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool overhang and depth-of-cut limits when setting up for deep bore passes.
