The shank measures 3\/4 inches in height and 3\/4 inches in width, with an overall length of 4.5 inches. The cutting tip is solid carbide grade C6, which provides hardness and wear resistance suited for interrupted cuts and harder workpiece materials. This tool bit follows the AL-12 industry standard geometry. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in lathe toolpost holders and boring bars configured for left-hand feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is designed for boring, chamfering, and turning applications on manual and CNC lathes. The left-hand cutting direction makes it appropriate for operations where the tool feeds from left to right relative to the spindle, such as facing toward a shoulder or machining close to a chuck. The AL-12 style designation ensures dimensional compatibility with standard tool holders that accept this geometry. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance machine shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAL-12 industry standard tool bit style for consistent holder fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for right-to-left feed or shoulder approach work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC6 solid carbide tip grade for hardness and extended tool life on difficult materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare shoulder turning geometry suitable for boring, chamfering, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch shank cross-section for rigid clamping in standard tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5 inch overall length providing reach in typical lathe toolpost setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard tool for lathe toolpost holders and boring bar setups accepting AL-12 style tool bits with a 3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch shank profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or qualified machine operators. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the tool bit is clamped securely and the cutting edge is set at the correct center height before resuming cuts. Do not run the tool at feeds or speeds beyond the capacity of the C6 carbide grade for the workpiece material being machined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AL-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: AL\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: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 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: 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.68 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: 383-0176\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694679458098,"sku":"383-0176","price":29.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bf2dd853ef2c15fd81f6fbec367bbf08.jpg?v=1788327088","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-0176-single-point-tool-bit-al-12-left-hand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
