Value Collection 383-2052 Single-point Tool Bit C-10 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-2052 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. Built to the C-10 industry standard, this Style C bit features a square nose profile and a neutral cutting direction, making it versatile across multiple cutting applications. The shank measures 5/8 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 4 inches. The cutting tip is solid carbide, grade C2, which delivers reliable wear resistance and edge retention during interrupted and continuous cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production and job-shop environments will find this bit ready to run without additional modification.

This tool bit is suited for general-purpose turning, facing, chamfering, and forming operations on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its neutral geometry makes it appropriate for both right-hand and left-hand feed directions depending on setup. The C2 carbide grade is commonly selected for cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and abrasive materials where a harder tip material is needed to maintain edge life. It is a practical choice for shops that need a reliable, industry-standard single-point bit without custom tooling lead times.
