Value Collection 383-3042 Single-point Tool Bit C2 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3042 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision machining operations in metal-cutting environments. Built to Industry Standard Number D-7 with a Style D profile and pointed nose geometry, this bit delivers consistent performance on chamfering applications. The shank measures 7/16 inches in height and 7/16 inches in width, with a 3-inch overall length that fits standard toolholders. The cutting tip is solid carbide grade C2, a general-purpose carbide grade well suited for turning cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at moderate speeds. Cutting direction is neutral, making it adaptable to a variety of setup orientations on the lathe or mill.

This tool bit is intended for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where chamfering, pointing, or similar single-point cutting operations are performed. The D-7 Industry Standard designation ensures compatibility with toolholders and setups that reference standard tool bit sizing. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, or toolroom mills will find this bit a straightforward fit for general chamfering work. It is sold individually and is suitable for both production runs and one-off toolroom tasks.

Installation Notes

Single-point tool bits of this type are installed and adjusted by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or repositioning the bit in the toolholder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the set screws are secured to the toolholder manufacturer's recommendation before resuming operation. Carbide tips are brittle — avoid impact or dropping, and do not use interrupted-cut setups beyond the grade's rated capacity without verifying suitability.
