Value Collection 383-1076 BR-12 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-1076 is a BR-style single-point tool bit designed for lead angle turning operations in metal cutting applications. Built with a C6 solid carbide tip, this bit delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and general turning. The shank measures 3/4 inches in height and 3/4 inches in width, with an overall length of 4.5 inches. Cutting direction is right hand. At 0.68 pounds, it is a solid, balanced tool suited for use in engine lathes and turret lathes across production and maintenance machining environments.

This tool bit is suited for shops and machinists performing lead angle turning at 15 degrees. Its C6 carbide tip grade is appropriate for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials under interrupted or continuous cut conditions. It is commonly used in both job shop and light production settings where a reliable, geometry-specific single-point tool is needed without the cost of full custom tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the tool post. Ensure the tool bit is clamped securely and set to the correct center height before resuming cuts. Do not use this bit beyond its rated cutting application or on materials outside the C6 grade range without verifying suitability.
