Value Collection 383-3016 Single-point Tool Bit D-4 C6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3016 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision turning and chamfering operations on metal lathes and CNC turning centers. Built to Industry Standard D-4 with a pointed nose geometry, it features a solid carbide C6-grade tip brazed to a steel shank. The 1/4 inch shank height and 1/4 inch shank width fit standard small-bore tool holders, and the neutral cutting direction suits straight-in facing and turning passes. Overall length is 2 inches. The 80-degree included angle makes this bit well-suited for chamfering and light contouring work where a defined nose geometry is required.

This tool bit is used in manual engine lathes, turret lathes, and CNC turning centers for chamfering, facing, and general-purpose single-point turning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The C6 carbide grade handles a broad range of work materials including cast iron, mild steel, and aluminum at moderate cutting speeds. It is typically installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production turning departments where small-shank tooling is standard.

Key Features

• Industry Standard D-4 designation for consistent fitment in standard small-shank tool holders
• Solid carbide C6-grade tip for extended wear resistance compared to HSS alternatives
• Neutral cutting direction supports both facing and straight turning passes
• 80-degree included angle optimized for chamfering and pointed-nose contouring
• Compact 2-inch overall length suits confined tool post setups
• Pointed nose geometry allows precise entry on chamfers and angular cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for small-shank tool holders accepting 1/4 inch square shank single-point tool bits per Industry Standard D-4 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder with adequate contact length before tightening set screws, and ensure the cutting edge is set on center height before making a cut. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before changing or adjusting any tooling. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the C6 grade and work material combination.
