Value Collection 383-3026 Single-point Tool Bit C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3026 is a Style D single-point tool bit designed for precision chamfering and pointed-nose cutting operations on manual and CNC lathes. Built to Industry Standard D-5, this tool bit features a solid carbide tip rated at grade C6, delivering the hardness and wear resistance required for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The shank measures 5/16 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 2.25 inches. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for both left-hand and right-hand setups without repositioning. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and production lathe operators are the primary users.

This tool bit is applied in chamfering, deburring, and pointed-nose profiling operations on conventional engine lathes and turret lathes. The D-5 industry standard designation means it fits standard tool holders and quick-change toolpost blocks sized for 5/16-inch square shank tooling. The 80-degree included angle is suited for chamfer cuts and angled shoulder work on both ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Typical environments include job shops, production machining floors, and maintenance departments where consistent, repeatable cutting geometry is required.

Key Features

• Industry Standard D-5 designation for broad tool holder compatibility with 5/16-inch shank blocks
• C6 solid carbide tip provides high wear resistance and hardness for extended tool life
• Neutral cutting direction supports flexible left-hand or right-hand setup without tool change
• 80-degree included angle optimized for chamfering and angled shoulder operations
• Compact 2.25-inch overall length suits close-clearance and small-bore lathe work
• Pointed-nose geometry enables precise chamfer and profiling cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for standard tool holders and quick-change toolpost systems accepting a 5/16-inch square shank single-point tool bit per Industry Standard D-5.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or removing any tool bit from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamping screws are snugged evenly to prevent chatter or tool pull-out during the cut. Do not exceed the tool bit geometry limitations by applying it to cutting applications outside its rated included angle or tip grade range.
