Value Collection 383-8112 FL-10 Tool Bit 5/8in Left Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8112 is a single-point, left-hand offset end cutting tool bit built to FL-10 industry standards. It features a C2 solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank measuring 5/8 inches in height and 5/8 inches in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. The 1/32-inch nose radius suits general-purpose turning and facing operations. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this style of bit on manual and CNC lathes where a left-hand cutting direction is required. It weighs 0.48 pounds and ships as a single unit.

This tool bit is designed for turning and facing to a shoulder, as well as work performed close to a chuck jaw. The FL-10 style offset end cutting geometry is commonly applied in job shop and production environments on lathes handling steel, cast iron, and similar machinable metals. The left-hand cutting direction makes it suitable for setups where the tool feeds from left to right or where standard right-hand bits cannot reach the required surface. It is appropriate for both manual lathe operators and programmers setting up CNC turning centers that require offset tooling.

Key Features

• FL-10 industry standard number for straightforward cross-referencing and replacement
• Left-hand offset end cutting geometry for turning and facing to a shoulder
• C2 solid carbide tip grade suited for general-purpose turning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 5/8 inches shank height by 5/8 inches shank width for use in standard tool holders
• 1/32-inch nose radius for general finishing and semi-finish turning passes
• 4-inch overall length provides reach for close-to-chuck work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for FL-10 style single-point left-hand tool bits used in standard 5/8-inch tool holders on manual and CNC lathes.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed by machinists in a compatible 5/8-inch tool holder or tool post. The machine spindle must be brought to a complete stop and all power isolated before seating or adjusting the bit. Confirm that the tool holder set screws are properly torqued per the holder manufacturer specification before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during setup.
