Value Collection 383-1046 BR-7 Single-point Tool Bit C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-1046 is a BR-style single-point tool bit designed for lead angle turning operations on lathes and boring equipment. It features a C6 solid carbide tip, which provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for interrupted cuts, chamfering, boring, and general turning. The shank measures 7/16 inches in height and 7/16 inches in width, with an overall length of 3 inches. The 15-degree lead angle and right-hand cutting direction make it a straightforward choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with a range of workpiece materials. The carbide grade C6 is suited for moderate-to-high cutting speeds on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This tool bit is used in manual and CNC lathe setups for operations including outside diameter turning, boring, chamfering, and interrupted-cut work. It fits standard tool holders and boring bars sized for 7/16 inch shank tooling. The right-hand cutting direction means the tool advances from right to left relative to the workpiece, which is the standard orientation for most lathe turning setups. It is appropriate for both job shop and production machining environments where a solid carbide tipped single-point bit is required.

Key Features

• C6 solid carbide tip grade for wear resistance across turning, boring, and interrupted cuts
• 15-degree lead angle for controlled chip flow and reduced tool pressure
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe turning orientation
• 7/16 inch square shank fits common tool holders and boring bar setups
• 3 inch overall length suits compact tool post and turret applications
• Industry standard BR-7 designation for straightforward cross-referencing and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for BR-7 industry-standard single-point tool bits in any tool holder or boring bar accepting a 7/16 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians following standard lathe tooling procedures. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder and verify proper center height before engaging the workpiece. Ensure the machine is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before changing or adjusting tooling. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool overhang and clamping torque.
