Value Collection 383-6242 ER-10 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-6242 is an ER-10 style single-point tool bit designed for offset threading and V-grooving operations on metal lathes and threading machines. The tool features a solid carbide tip rated C2 grade, suited for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials at sustained cutting speeds. The shank measures 5/8 inches in height and 5/8 inches in width, with a 60-degree included angle and an overall length of 4 inches. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional lathe setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals typically install and operate this bit in standard single-point threading applications.

This tool bit is used in threading and V-grooving-to-shoulder operations where precise thread form geometry is required. The ER-10 industry standard designation ensures consistent fitment in compatible toolholders. It is appropriate for both production-floor and job-shop environments handling general-purpose threading tasks on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The C2 carbide grade balances wear resistance and toughness for interrupted or continuous threading cuts at moderate to high surface speeds.

Key Features

• ER-10 industry standard tool bit style for offset threading
• C2 solid carbide tip for durability in threading and V-grooving applications
• 60-degree included angle for standard thread form geometry
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe setups
• 5/8 inch square shank for secure toolholder clamping
• 4-inch overall length provides adequate reach in standard toolpost setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders conforming to the ER-10 industry standard. Suitable for single-point threading and V-grooving-to-shoulder operations on lathes and threading machines accepting a 5/8 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. The lathe or threading machine must be fully powered down and at a complete stop before mounting or removing the tool bit. Secure the shank firmly in the toolholder using the appropriate wrench to the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specification. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, as damaged carbide can produce out-of-tolerance threads or create a safety hazard.
