Value Collection 383-1066 BR-10 Tool Bit 5/8 in C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-1066 is a BR-style single-point tool bit designed for lead angle turning operations on lathes and boring equipment. Built to the BR-10 industry standard, it features a C6 grade solid carbide tip brazed to a right-hand cutting configuration. The shank measures 5/8 inches in height and 5/8 inches in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. The C6 carbide grade provides good wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous material removal. This tool bit is installed by machinists and tool-room technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This tool bit is suited for a range of cutting applications including turning, boring, chamfering, and interrupted cuts. The 15-degree lead angle geometry helps reduce cutting forces and promotes chip flow in standard lathe setups. It is appropriate for use on manual and CNC lathes where a right-hand BR-style bit is required. Typical use cases include facing, diameter reduction, and bore entry work on mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials in light to medium-duty machining operations.

Key Features

• BR-10 industry standard designation for straightforward cross-referencing and replacement
• C6 solid carbide tip grade suited for general-purpose turning and boring of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 15-degree lead angle geometry reduces cutting forces and promotes chip clearance
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe tool post orientation
• 5/8 inch square shank cross-section fits common tool holders and quick-change posts
• Rated for turning, boring, chamfering, and interrupted cut applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for any application calling for a BR-10 right-hand single-point tool bit with a 5/8 inch square shank and C6 carbide tip.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed by qualified machinists or tool-room personnel. Before changing or seating the tool bit, power down and lock out the machine per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the shank is fully supported in the tool holder with adequate contact length and the tool tip is set to the correct centerline height before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chipping prior to each use, and replace the bit if tip damage is observed.
