Value Collection 383-0082 AR-16 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-0082 is a right-hand single-point tool bit built to industry standard AR-16 specifications. Designed for square shoulder turning operations, this tool bit features a solid carbide tip with a C2 grade insert, making it suited for demanding cutting tasks where wear resistance and edge retention are required. The shank measures 1 inch in height and 1 inch in width, with an overall length of 6 inches. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators will find this an appropriate replacement or spare for AR-style tooling setups on lathes and boring equipment.

This tool bit is used in general-purpose metal cutting applications including boring, chamfering, and turning. It is a right-hand cutting tool, meaning the cut is made from right to left when the tool is viewed from above. The AR-16 industry standard designation ensures dimensional consistency with compatible tool holders and turrets found on production lathes and manual turning centers in both job shop and industrial settings.

Key Features

• AR-16 industry standard designation for dimensional compatibility with AR-style tool holders
• C2 grade solid carbide tip for high wear resistance in boring, chamfering, and turning operations
• Square shoulder turning style provides a 90-degree shoulder on workpiece profiles
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe setups
• 1 inch by 1 inch shank cross-section with 6 inch overall length
• Weighs 3 pounds, indicating a robust, solid construction

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for AR-16 industry standard single-point tool bit applications. Compatible with tool holders and turrets dimensioned for a 1 inch by 1 inch shank and AR-style geometry.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and used by machinists and toolroom technicians on lathes or boring machines. Before changing or setting tooling, bring the machine spindle to a full stop and isolate the machine from its power source. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the correct overhang length to minimize chatter and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use.
