Value Collection 383-4026 Threading Tool Bit C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-4026 is a single-point threading tool bit designed for precision metal cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. Built to industry standard E-6 geometry, it features a C6-grade solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank measuring 3/8 inches in height and 3/8 inches in width. The neutral cutting direction makes it suitable for both left-hand and right-hand passes depending on setup. At 2.5 inches overall length, it fits standard tool holders used in production and job-shop turning environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this bit for threading, chamfering, undercutting, and V-grooving operations.

This tool bit is intended for use in manual and CNC lathe applications where a compact, single-point carbide-tipped bit is required. The 60-degree included angle and neutral orientation support a range of threading profiles and groove geometries. It is well suited for cutting external threads, producing chamfers on shaft features, undercutting relief grooves, and forming V-groove profiles. Typical users include machinists in production shops, maintenance shops, and apprentice-level trade programs working with standard lathe setups.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for lathe tool holders accepting a 3/8 inch square shank with E-6 industry standard geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing tool bits, power down the lathe and confirm the spindle has come to a full stop. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping depth, ensuring the carbide tip is properly oriented for the intended cutting direction. Inspect the carbide tip for chips or cracks before each use, as a damaged tip can cause workpiece damage or tool failure during cutting.
