Value Collection 383-4022 Threading Tool Bit 3/8 in E-6 C2 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-4022 is a single-point tool bit designed for precision threading, chamfering, undercutting, and V-grooving operations on a lathe or CNC turning center. Built to industry standard designation E-6, it features a solid carbide tip rated C2 grade, which provides the hardness and wear resistance required for cutting steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The shank measures 3/8 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. The neutral cutting direction makes this bit suitable for straight-in facing and threading passes without a left or right hand orientation bias. A 60-degree included angle conforms to standard unified thread form geometry.

This tool bit is used in production and job-shop turning operations where repeatable thread form accuracy is required. The E-style geometry and C2 carbide grade are well matched to general-purpose threading at moderate cutting speeds on ferrous workpieces. It is appropriate for both manual engine lathes and CNC turning setups where a brazed or solid carbide single-point insert-style bit is not required. The compact 2.5-inch overall length suits smaller tool posts and quick-change holders common in light to medium duty turning applications.

Key Features

• Industry standard E-6 designation for consistent fitment in compatible tool holders
• C2 solid carbide tip grade for hardness and abrasion resistance on ferrous materials
• 60-degree included angle conforms to standard unified thread form geometry
• Neutral cutting direction suitable for straight-in threading and chamfering passes
• Rated for chamfering, threading, undercutting, and V-grooving applications in a single tool
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length fits light to medium duty tool posts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard E-6 single-point tool bit for use in tool holders and tool posts that accept a 3/8-inch square shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC lathe operator. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the tool holder. Ensure the tool bit is clamped securely with no overhang beyond what the cut geometry requires, and verify center height alignment before making a threading pass. Do not exceed the feed, speed, or depth-of-cut parameters recommended for C2 carbide on the specific workpiece material.
