Value Collection 383-0062 AR-10 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-0062 is a single-point carbide-tipped tool bit designed for metal-cutting lathe operations. Built to the AR-10 industry standard, this right-hand tool bit features a solid carbide tip rated C2 grade, suitable for general-purpose machining on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. The shank measures 5/8 inches in height and 5/8 inches in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. The C2 carbide grade provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness for interrupted and continuous cuts. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC lathe operators will find this bit suited to production and maintenance turning work.

This tool bit is used in square-shoulder turning applications including boring, chamfering, and turning on manual and CNC lathes. The AR-10 style designation corresponds to a widely used industry standard geometry, making it a common fit on toolpost setups that accept 5/8-inch shank tooling. It is appropriate for both job shop and production environments where right-hand cutting direction is required. The right-hand cutting orientation means the tool feeds from right to left toward the headstock, which is the standard configuration for most lathe facing and turning operations.

Key Features

• AR-10 industry standard geometry for consistent fitment in compatible toolpost holders
• C2 solid carbide tip grade suited for boring, chamfering, and turning on a range of materials
• 5/8 inch square shank height and width for rigid tool holding
• 4 inch overall length provides adequate overhang clearance for most lathe setups
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard left-to-headstock feed operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit tool bit for lathe toolpost and turret setups that accept 5/8-inch square shank, AR-style single-point tool bits per the AR-10 industry standard designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The lathe must be powered down and the spindle locked before seating or adjusting toolpost holders. The tool bit should be set at the correct center height relative to the workpiece spindle axis before taking a cut. Verify toolpost clamp torque is sufficient to prevent bit movement under cutting load without over-stressing the holder.
