Value Collection 383-8212 GR-10 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8212 is a GR-style single-point tool bit designed for turning and facing operations on metal lathes. The bit features a solid carbide tip with a C2 grade rating, making it suited for cutting harder materials at higher speeds than high-speed steel alternatives. The shank measures 5/8 inches in both height and width, with an overall length of 4 inches. A 1/32-inch nose radius produces a smooth surface finish on finished cuts. The right-hand cutting direction means material feeds from right to left. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians install this type of bit in standard lathe tool posts.

This tool bit is configured as an offset end cutting style, which positions the cutting edge for turning close to a shoulder or chuck jaw. That geometry makes it practical for facing work where clearance between the cutting edge and the workpiece fixture is limited. The GR-10 industry standard designation means the bit fits standard GR-series tool holders used in many manual and CNC lathe setups in job shop, maintenance, and production machining environments.

Key Features

• GR-10 industry standard designation for compatibility with GR-series tool holders
• C2 solid carbide tip grade suited for turning ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Offset end cutting geometry enables turning and facing close to the shoulder or chuck jaw
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional left-to-right material feed setups
• 1/32 inch nose radius for controlled surface finish on finish turning passes
• 5/8 inch square shank fits standard tool post blocks for that shank size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool bit for standard GR-series lathe tool 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 before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the tool post. Set the cutting edge height to spindle centerline before taking a cut, as incorrect height affects surface finish and tool life. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable OSHA machining guidelines when handling carbide-tipped tooling.
