Value Collection 383-1166 Single-point Tool Bit BL-10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-1166 is a left-hand, single-point carbide-tipped tool bit designed for precision metal cutting in lathe and boring applications. Built to Industry Standard BL-10, it features a solid carbide tip rated C6 for hardness and wear resistance, a 5/8-inch square shank, and a 15-degree lead angle. With an overall length of 4 inches, this bit delivers consistent performance on boring, chamfering, interrupted cuts, and general turning operations. It is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC lathes requiring a left-hand cutting geometry.

This tool bit is appropriate for light to medium-duty turning and boring tasks in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. The C6 carbide grade handles general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous materials well, making it a practical choice for shops that need a reliable single-point bit for standard turning, chamfering, or interrupted-cut work on a manual lathe or turret setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool-room technician. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post to the correct center height before operation. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before each use, especially after interrupted cuts.
