Value Collection 383-1082 BR-16 Turning Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-1082 is a BR-style, single-point lead angle turning tool bit designed for lathe and boring operations in machine shop and production environments. Built with a C2-grade solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for interrupted cuts, chamfering, boring, and general turning. 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 standard lathe setups. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC lathe operators are the primary users of this style of tool bit.

This tool bit is suited for a wide range of cutting applications including boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 15-degree lead angle geometry matches the BR-16 industry standard, making it a direct-fit replacement for shops running toolholders and setups specified to that standard. It is appropriate for both light production runs and general-purpose single-point cutting tasks on manual or CNC lathes in job shop and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool post locked before inserting or removing the tool bit. Secure the bit firmly in the toolholder to the holder manufacturer's specification before making any cutting pass. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cratering before each use, especially when the tool is used on interrupted cuts.
