Value Collection 383-8036 FR-16 Tool Bit C6 Carbide Right Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8036 is an FR-16 style single-point tool bit designed for use on manual and CNC turning equipment. It features a solid carbide tip graded C6, suited for general-purpose cutting operations requiring wear resistance and edge retention at moderate speeds. The shank measures 1 inch in height and 1 inch in width, with an overall length of 7 inches. A 1/32-inch nose radius provides a controlled surface finish during facing and shoulder operations. This tool bit is installed by machinists and tool-and-die trades in production and job-shop environments.

The 383-8036 is intended for straddle facing, turning, and facing-to-shoulder applications on lathes and turning centers. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation on most manual engine lathes and CNC turning equipment. The FR offset end-cutting geometry positions the cutting edge for operations where the tool approaches a shoulder or step feature on the workpiece. It is appropriate for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials within the C6 grade application range.

Key Features

• FR-16 industry-standard tool bit style with offset end-cutting geometry
• C6 solid carbide tip for wear resistance in general-purpose turning applications
• 1-inch shank height and 1-inch shank width for rigid, secure tool post clamping
• 1/32-inch nose radius for controlled surface finish on facing passes
• 7-inch overall length provides clearance in standard tool post setups
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional lathe spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for tool posts and holders accepting a 1-inch square shank tool bit in the FR-16 industry-standard form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post or holder before engaging the workpiece, and verify tool height alignment to the spindle centerline prior to cutting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or adjusting tool bits. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds appropriate to the C6 carbide grade and workpiece material.
