This bit follows the C-12 industry standard and features a solid carbide tip rated to C6 grade, a designation suited for general-purpose machining of cast iron, nonferrous metals, and similar materials. The neutral cutting direction allows the bit to remove material straight into the cut without redirecting lateral forces, making it a practical choice for facing, turning, and forming operations. The shank measures 3\/4 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 4.5 inches. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC lathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is appropriate for a range of common machining operations including chamfering, facing, forming, and turning. The square nose geometry and neutral cutting direction suit situations where the operator needs a predictable, centered cut without tool pull in either direction. It is commonly used in production shops, maintenance machining environments, and job shops handling mixed-material work. The C6 carbide grade offers a balance of hardness and toughness for interrupted and continuous cuts on ferrous and nonferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC-12 industry standard designation for consistent toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide tip at C6 grade for durability in general-purpose machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral cutting direction for straight-in material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare nose geometry supports chamfering, facing, forming, and turning applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch shank cross-section for secure clamping in standard toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 inch overall length provides adequate reach for typical lathe setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a C-12 style single-point tool bit for use in standard toolholders accepting a 3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch shank.

Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before seating or removing tool bits. Use a torque wrench on toolholder set screws only to manufacturer-specified values for the holder in use — do not over-tighten against the carbide shank. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cracking before each use, as solid carbide can fracture under impact if a defect is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\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 Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chamfering, Facing, Forming, Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 383-2066\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701693743410,"sku":"383-2066","price":34.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1fe2682625faf3b253a34be3d6700b86.jpg?v=1788403881","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-2066-single-point-tool-bit-c-12-c6-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
