Value Collection 383-3032 Single-point Tool Bit Style D C2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3032 is a Style D single-point tool bit designed for precise chamfering operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features a C2-grade solid carbide tip with a pointed nose profile and an 80-degree included angle, making it well-suited for cutting bevels and angular features on metal workpieces. The neutral cutting direction allows straight-in radial cuts without side-cutting bias. The shank measures 3/8 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, easy-to-handle tool for both bench and production-floor use.

This tool bit fits standard 3/8-inch tool holders and is appropriate for use in general metalworking and machining environments. The C2 carbide grade is suited for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate cutting speeds. It is commonly used in job shops, maintenance shops, and production cells where chamfering, beveling, and pointed-nose profiling operations are performed on a lathe or boring mill. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and users of this tool bit.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible 3/8-inch tool holder or turret position. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the lathe is powered down before changing tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the holder to the manufacturer-recommended clamping method to prevent chatter or tool pullout during cutting. Verify the cutting edge height relative to the spindle centerline before commencing any cut.
