Value Collection 383-8016 FR-10 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8016 is an FR-style single-point tool bit designed for metal-cutting lathe operations. Built to industry standard FR-10 specifications, this offset end cutting tool features a C6-grade solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank measuring 5/8 inches in height and 5/8 inches in width. The overall length is 4 inches, and the nose radius is 1/32 inch. Right-hand cutting direction means the tool feeds from right to left across the workpiece. At 0.46 pounds, it is a compact, durable turning tool suited to production and job-shop environments.

This tool bit is intended for straddle facing, turning, and facing-to-shoulder operations on manual and CNC lathes. The FR-10 offset end cutting geometry positions the cutting edge for work close to a shoulder or chuck face where a straight tool bit cannot reach cleanly. Machinists and toolroom operators working with steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials will find the C6 carbide grade appropriate for general-purpose interrupted and continuous cuts at moderate to high surface speeds.

Key Features

• FR-10 industry standard offset end cutting geometry for straddle facing and shoulder work
• C6-grade solid carbide tip for durability on ferrous metals and general-purpose turning
• 5/8 inch x 5/8 inch shank cross-section fits standard lathe tool posts in that bore range
• 1/32 inch nose radius balances surface finish quality with edge strength
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional left-to-right feed setup
• 4 inch overall length provides rigid overhang control in standard tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or equivalent for FR-10 style single-point tool bits used in lathe tool posts and holders accepting a 5/8 inch square shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating the tool bit in the holder. Set tool height on center using a reference gauge before taking a cut. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or surface speed for the C6 carbide grade and workpiece material being machined.
