Value Collection 383-3046 Single-point Tool Bit D-7

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3046 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision machining operations on metal lathes and turning centers. Built to the D-7 industry standard, this tool bit features a pointed nose geometry with a neutral cutting direction and an 80-degree included angle. The shank measures 7/16 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 3 inches. The cutting tip is solid carbide grade C6, offering hardness and wear resistance suited to interrupted cuts, general turning, and chamfering applications. Machinists and toolroom operators typically select this style for its consistent geometry and dimensional accuracy.

The 383-3046 is suited for chamfering and general single-point turning work on manual lathes and CNC turning equipment. The neutral cutting direction makes it adaptable to both right- and left-hand feed passes depending on setup. The D-7 industry standard designation allows straightforward cross-referencing when replacing worn or broken tool bits in existing setups. This bit is sold individually and is appropriate for job shops, production floors, and toolroom maintenance applications.

Key Features

• D-7 industry standard designation for consistent cross-reference and replacement
• Solid carbide C6 grade tip for hardness and extended tool life in chamfering applications
• Neutral cutting direction supports both right- and left-hand feed orientations
• 80-degree included angle with pointed nose geometry for chamfering and turning
• Uniform 7/16 inch square shank fits standard tool holders sized for that shank dimension
• Compact 3-inch overall length suited to standard lathe tool posts and turrets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade single-point tool bit for manual and CNC lathes accepting a 7/16 inch square shank tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle drive before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the tool bit is clamped securely at the correct center height relative to the workpiece axis before resuming operation. Do not use a damaged or chipped carbide tip, as solid carbide is brittle and can fracture under interrupted cuts if improperly supported.
