Built to the BL-5 industry standard, it features a solid carbide tip rated C6 grade, delivering the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding cuts. The shank measures 5\/16 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 2.25 inches. This tool bit is suited for machinists and toolroom operators working on manual or CNC lathes where a left-hand cutting direction is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is intended for use in boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning operations. The 15-degree lead angle geometry makes it well suited for applications requiring controlled chip flow and reduced radial cutting forces. It fits standard tool holders sized for 5\/16 inch square shank inserts and is appropriate for both production and job-shop turning setups where solid carbide tooling is preferred over brazed or indexable alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBL-5 industry standard designation for consistent fitment in compatible tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC6 solid carbide tip grade rated for boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15-degree lead angle geometry for controlled chip flow and reduced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for applications requiring right-to-left tool travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2.25 inch overall length suitable for close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch square shank fits standard small-bore tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit single-point tool bit for standard tool holders accepting a 5\/16 inch square shank in BL-style configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. The machine spindle must be powered down and brought to a full stop before seating or removing the tool bit from the holder. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the recommended clamping specification for the holder manufacturer before resuming cutting operations. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, particularly after interrupted cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: BL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead Angle 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: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 degrees\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, Interrupted Cuts, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\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: 383-1126\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690169925938,"sku":"383-1126","price":20.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee65a22719b1eb4ddf6652a062e9feda.jpg?v=1788266932","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-1126-bl-5-single-point-tool-bit-left-hand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
