Value Collection 383-4016 Threading Tool Bit E-5 C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-4016 is a single-point threading tool bit designed for precision cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. Built to the E-5 industry standard, it features a 5/16 inch square shank and a solid carbide tip graded C6 for wear resistance in demanding applications. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for both left-to-right and right-to-left passes. At 2.25 inches overall length and weighing 0.12 pounds, this compact tool bit is sized for standard toolpost holders. It is typically installed by machinists and tooling technicians working in metalworking and fabrication environments.

The 383-4016 is suited for a range of cutting applications including threading, chamfering, undercutting, and V-grooving. The 60-degree included angle matches standard thread forms, making it a practical choice for general-purpose threading work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its compact overall length of 2.25 inches suits smaller tool holders and bench lathes as well as production turning equipment in light industrial shops.
