Value Collection 383-3086 Single-point Tool Bit D-16 C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-3086 is a single-point tool bit designed for lathe and turning applications requiring precise material removal and chamfering. Built to industry standard D-16, this bit features a solid carbide tip rated at grade C6, which offers strong resistance to wear and heat during interrupted or continuous cuts. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for straight-in stock removal without a left- or right-hand bias. The shank measures 1 inch in height and 1 inch in width, with an overall length of 6 inches. A pointed nose geometry with an 80-degree included angle supports clean chamfering and detail work on a range of workpiece materials.

This tool bit is used in manual and CNC lathe setups across metalworking, toolroom, and production-floor environments. The D-style profile and D-16 standard sizing make it compatible with tool holders and turrets sized for 1-inch square shank tooling. Typical applications include chamfering, facing, and profile turning on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Machinists and toolroom technicians will recognize the C6 carbide grade as appropriate for general-purpose turning where toughness and moderate wear resistance are both needed.

Key Features

• Industry standard D-16 designation for consistent fitment in compatible tool holders
• C6 grade solid carbide tip for wear resistance in general-purpose turning and chamfering
• Neutral cutting direction suits straight-in stock removal without lateral bias
• 80-degree included angle with pointed nose geometry optimized for chamfering operations
• 1 inch by 1 inch square shank cross-section for rigid setup in standard tool posts
• 6-inch overall length provides reach and rigidity across common lathe configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard D-16 single-point tool bit for use in tool holders and turrets accepting 1-inch square shank tooling in manual and CNC lathe applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before mounting or changing any tool bit, shut down the lathe spindle completely and confirm the machine is in a safe, de-energized state. Seat the shank fully in the tool holder and tighten set screws evenly to prevent chatter. Verify tool tip height relative to the workpiece centerline before beginning any cut.
