Built to the AR-4 industry standard, it features a right-hand cutting direction and a solid carbide tip graded C6, which provides good wear resistance for turning, boring, and chamfering applications. The shank measures 1\/4 inch in height and 1\/4 inch in width, with an overall length of 2 inches. At 0.06 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight insert-style bit suited for smaller toolholders and light-duty setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is intended for use in machine shop environments where square shoulder turning, boring, and chamfering operations are required. The AR-4 style designation makes it compatible with standard AR-series toolholders commonly found on engine lathes and turret lathes. The C6 carbide grade is generally applied to ferrous materials including cast iron and steel under moderate cutting conditions. Typical install scenarios include production turning, maintenance machining, and prototype work where a reliable brazed-carbide bit is preferred over indexable inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAR-4 industry standard designation for use with matching AR-series toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC6 solid carbide tip grade rated for turning, boring, and chamfering of ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction for standard lathe feed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch shank height and 1\/4 inch shank width for compact toolholder setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length provides rigid, low-overhang mounting in the toolpost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.06 pounds — minimal toolholder load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or spare for AR-4 style single-point tool bit applications using standard AR-series toolholders with a 1\/4 inch shank bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder using the appropriate set screws before engaging any cut. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and power is isolated before changing or seating tool bits. Do not use the bit beyond its rated cutting application — avoid interrupted heavy cuts that exceed the capacity of a brazed-carbide tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring, Chamfering, Turning\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 383-0016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699910213938,"sku":"383-0016","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c3188dd961204c985c05330bb5e44b6.jpg?v=1788383123","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-0016-ar-4-single-point-tool-bit-c6-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
