Value Collection 383-3022 Single-point Tool Bit C2 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3022 is a Style D single-point tool bit designed for precision chamfering and pointed-nose turning operations on lathes and boring machines. Built with a C2 grade solid carbide tip, this bit delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals at elevated speeds. The neutral cutting direction suits straight-on cutting applications where side rake is not needed. With a 5/16 inch shank height and 5/16 inch shank width, it fits standard tool holders in that size class. Overall length is 2.25 inches. Machinists and toolroom operators working in production or job-shop environments will find this bit a reliable standard-geometry option for chamfer work.

This tool bit is suited for use on manual and CNC lathes in both light production and job-shop settings. The D-5 industry standard designation makes it a direct fit for applications calling for that geometry. The 80-degree included angle and pointed nose profile make it well-matched to chamfering operations on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. It is sold and shipped as a single piece, making it practical for replacing worn bits individually or stocking alongside a set.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard D-5 geometry single-point tool bit compatible with tool holders accepting a 5/16 inch square shank. Suited for lathes and boring setups requiring a neutral, pointed-nose carbide-tipped bit for chamfering work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before inserting or changing tool bits, disengage the lathe spindle and confirm the machine is at a full stop. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or tool holder to the correct height relative to the workpiece centerline. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged tip affects cut quality and workpiece finish.
