Value Collection 383-3082 Single-point Tool Bit D-16 C2 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3082 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. Built to industry standard D-16 specifications, it features a solid carbide tip with a C2 grade rating, delivering hardness and wear resistance suited for general-purpose machining of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. The shank measures 1 inch in height and 1 inch in width, with a neutral cutting direction and an 80-degree included angle at the tip. Overall length is 6 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this style for consistent, repeatable results in production and job-shop environments.

This tool bit is suited for chamfering operations and pointed-nose cutting applications on manual and CNC lathes. The D-style geometry and neutral cutting direction make it adaptable to a range of turning setups without requiring left- or right-hand orientation changes. It is a practical choice for shops that standardize on D-series brazed carbide tooling for medium-duty interrupted and continuous cutting passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• Industry standard D-16 designation for consistent fitment in standard tool holders
• C2 solid carbide tip grade for hardness and general-purpose cutting performance
• Neutral cutting direction allows flexible mounting orientation
• 80-degree included angle geometry suited for chamfering and pointed-nose operations
• 1 inch x 1 inch shank cross-section fits standard square-shank tool posts
• 6-inch overall length provides adequate reach for common lathe setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for D-16 single-point tool bit holders used on manual and CNC lathes requiring a 1-inch square shank brazed carbide tool bit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or turret holder before operation, ensuring the cutting edge is set to the correct centerline height for the workpiece. Inspect the brazed carbide tip for cracks or chips before each use and do not run a damaged insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements when setting up lathe tooling.
