Value Collection 383-6236 Threading Tool Bit ER-5 C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-6236 is an ER-style single-point tool bit designed for offset threading and V-grooving operations on metalworking lathes and threading equipment. It features a C6 solid carbide tip, which delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials at production speeds. The shank measures 5/16 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 2.25 inches. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups. This tool bit is typically installed and used by machinists and CNC lathe operators in job shop, toolroom, and production machining environments.

The 383-6236 is suited for threading and V-grooving-to-shoulder applications where tool clearance close to a workpiece shoulder is required. The ER-5 industry standard designation ensures dimensional interchangeability with compatible ER-style toolholders. Its compact 2.25-inch overall length makes it practical for close-tolerance threading passes on smaller diameter workpieces or in confined toolholder setups.

Key Features

• ER-5 industry standard offset threading style for close-to-shoulder threading applications
• C6 solid carbide tip for extended tool life and consistent thread form accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe rotation setups
• 60-degree included angle for standard V-thread and V-groove profiles
• 5/16 inch square shank (height and width) for secure toolholder clamping
• 2.25-inch overall length for use in compact or standard threading toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use single-point threading tool bit for ER-style toolholders accepting a 5/16 inch square shank with ER-5 geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard lathe tooling procedures. Ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the toolholder. Verify shank seating depth and clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before initiating a threading pass. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
