It features a C2 solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering the hardness and wear resistance needed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The shank measures 1\/4 inch in height and 1\/4 inch in width, with an overall length of 2 inches, making it well suited for light-duty turning, boring, and chamfering work. The right-hand cutting direction means it advances from right to left across the workpiece. This tool bit weighs approximately 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 383-0012 is intended for use in small lathes and toolroom applications where a compact, right-hand AR-4 tool bit is required. Typical applications include outside diameter turning, shoulder cutting, chamfering edges, and light boring passes. It is a practical choice for machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance shops running small-bore turning operations on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAR-4 industry standard tool bit style for broad compatibility with standard AR-series tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC2 solid carbide tip grade suitable for general-purpose turning and boring of ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction for standard left-to-right lathe feed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare shoulder turning geometry supports facing, chamfering, and turning in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2-inch overall length fits small tool posts and turret-style holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch by 1\/4 inch shank cross-section for use in matching AR-series tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool bit for AR-4 series tool holders accepting a 1\/4 inch by 1\/4 inch shank.

Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder and verify that the tool bit projects the correct distance before initiating a cut. Confirm the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before seating or removing the tool bit. Do not exceed the material and speed ratings appropriate for a C2 carbide grade in the application being performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AR-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: AR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Shoulder Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring, Chamfering, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 383-0012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698987401522,"sku":"383-0012","price":17.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/57cfd174e278ba2b1ab502265da856a2.jpg?v=1788370765","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-0012-ar-4-single-point-tool-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
