Value Collection 383-2056 Single-point Tool Bit C-10 C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-2056 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision metal-cutting operations on manual and CNC lathes. Built to Industry Standard C-10 with a neutral cutting direction, this tool bit features a C6-grade solid carbide tip brazed to a square-nose geometry. The shank measures 5/8 inch in height and 5/8 inch in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. It weighs 0.5 pounds. The C6 carbide grade provides a balance of hardness and toughness suited for general-purpose turning on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this bit directly into standard lathe tool posts and boring bar holders.

This tool bit is suited for a range of lathe operations including chamfering, facing, forming, and turning. The neutral cutting direction makes it versatile for both right-hand and left-hand setups depending on how it is presented in the tool holder. It fits machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments running standard C-style tool posts. The 5/8-inch square shank seats securely in common lathe tool holders sized for that shank dimension, making it a straightforward drop-in for most general-purpose turning setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the tool bit is clamped securely at the correct center height before engaging the workpiece. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chipping before each use, as damaged carbide can fracture under cutting loads.
