Value Collection 383-0086 AR-16 Tool Bit C6 Carbide Right Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-0086 is an AR-style single-point tool bit designed for square shoulder turning operations on metal lathes and boring mills. Built to Industry Standard AR-16 specifications, this tool bit features a solid carbide C6 tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for high-speed cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The shank measures 1 inch in height and 1 inch in width, with an overall length of 6 inches. The right-hand cutting direction suits conventional lathe setups where the tool feeds from right to left across the workpiece. Machinists and toolroom operators in production and job-shop environments rely on this style of tool bit for consistent, repeatable cuts.

This tool bit is suited for boring, chamfering, and turning operations on manual and CNC lathes, engine lathes, and turret lathes that accept AR-style tooling. The AR-16 industry standard designation ensures compatibility with appropriate tool holders sized for a 1-inch square shank. It is appropriate for both light finishing passes and moderate material removal in shop environments where solid carbide tipped tooling is preferred over indexable insert systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder or tool post before operation, ensuring the cutting tip is set at the correct center height for the workpiece. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or adjusting tooling. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cracks before each use and replace the tool if the cutting edge is compromised.
