Value Collection 383-4062 Threading Tool Bit E-12 Neutral C2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-4062 is a single-point threading tool bit designed for precision metalworking operations including threading, chamfering, undercutting, and V-grooving. Built to industry standard E-12, this tool bit features a C2-grade solid carbide tip mounted on a neutral cutting geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of lathe-based machining applications. The shank measures 3/4 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 4.5 inches. At 0.75 pounds, the tool is compact and rigid. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of bit in standard tool holders on engine lathes and CNC turning centers.

This tool bit is appropriate for both production and jobshop environments where thread-cutting, chamfering, and groove profiling are routine operations. The neutral cutting direction makes it adaptable to a variety of workpiece materials and cutting orientations. The 60-degree included angle conforms to standard thread-form requirements commonly encountered in general machining work. It is typically used on engine lathes, manual turret lathes, and compatible CNC turning setups where E-style tool bit holders are standard.

Key Features

• Industry standard E-12 designation for direct replacement in compatible tool holders
• C2-grade solid carbide tip for hardness and wear resistance in threading and grooving operations
• Neutral cutting direction supports flexible machining orientations
• 60-degree included angle meets standard thread-form geometry requirements
• Rated for chamfering, threading, undercutting, and V-grooving applications
• Compact 4.5-inch overall length for use in confined tool post setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool bit for E-style single-point tool holders conforming to the E-12 industry standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians using standard tool holder set screws and appropriate torque practices per shop standards. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Verify proper tool height alignment relative to the workpiece centerline before initiating a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting up single-point cutting tools.
