Value Collection 383-3036 Single-point Tool Bit C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3036 is a Style D single-point tool bit designed for chamfering operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features a solid carbide C6-grade tip with an 80-degree included angle and a pointed nose geometry, making it well suited for precise angled cuts and chamfer work on a range of workpiece materials. The shank measures 3/8 inches in height and 3/8 inches in width, with an overall length of 2.5 inches. Neutral cutting direction means the bit is center-handed and does not favor a left or right feed. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers.

This tool bit is intended for use in production and job-shop turning environments where chamfering accuracy is required. The C6 carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for interrupted cuts and moderate-to-high cutting speeds on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Its compact 2.5-inch overall length makes it a practical fit in smaller tool holders and turret setups where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Style D pointed-nose geometry with an 80-degree included angle for chamfering applications
• Solid carbide C6 tip material delivers hardness and wear resistance on a range of workpiece materials
• Neutral cutting direction suits both left-to-right and right-to-left feed operations
• 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch shank cross-section fits standard tool holders of that size class
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length reduces overhang in tight turret or tool-post setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-point tool bit for use in tool holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank height and 3/8 inch shank width per Industry Standard Number D-6.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before seating or adjusting the tool bit in its holder. Confirm shank seating depth and tool height alignment to centerline before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the tool holder's rated clamping torque range or overhang the shank beyond manufacturer guidance for the holder.
