Value Collection 383-8132 Single-point Tool Bit Fl C2 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8132 is a single-point tool bit designed for metal turning operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features an FL-style offset end cutting geometry with a solid C2 carbide tip, making it well suited for high-speed steel replacement applications where hardness and wear resistance are priorities. The 1 inch shank height and 1 inch shank width fit standard tool holders in that size class. With a 7 inch overall length and a 1/32 inch nose radius, this bit delivers controlled surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Installation and use are performed by machinists and toolroom technicians.

This tool bit is configured for left-hand cutting direction and is optimized for turning and facing to shoulder operations as well as work performed close to the chuck jaw. These are common requirements in production turning cells and job shop environments where clearance around fixturing is limited. The FL-16 industry standard number identifies the shank size and style for straightforward replacement sourcing against catalog specifications.

Key Features

• FL-style offset end cutting geometry for shoulder turning and close-to-chuck work
• Solid C2 carbide tip grade for durability on general-purpose turning and facing
• Left-hand cutting direction for climb-cut or reverse-spindle applications
• 1/32 inch nose radius for controlled surface finish
• 1 inch x 1 inch shank cross-section fits standard square-shank tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for FL-16 industry-standard single-point tool bits used in square-shank tool holders accepting a 1 inch by 1 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Single-point tool bits of this type are installed and adjusted by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or removing the bit from the tool holder. Secure the shank fully within the holder per the holder manufacturer torque and clamping requirements. Verify cutting direction and tool height relative to center before resuming spindle operation.
