Value Collection 383-8222 GR-16 Carbide Tool Bit 1 in Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8222 is a GR-style single-point tool bit designed for metal-cutting lathe operations. Built with a C2 solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, this offset end-cutting tool delivers consistent performance on turning and facing applications. 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 allows for clean shoulder work and tight-clearance cuts near chuck jaws. Right-hand cutting direction makes this a direct fit for conventional lathe setups. It is suited for machinists and toolroom operators working in production or job-shop environments.

This tool bit is applied in turning and facing operations, particularly where work must be performed close to a chuck jaw or cut to a shoulder. The GR-16 industry standard designation makes it a recognized size across compatible tool holders and lathe setups. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a solid carbide tip provides the needed hardness and wear resistance. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians running manual or CNC lathes.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool bit for lathe tool holders accepting a 1-inch square shank in the GR-16 industry standard size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the tool holder. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post to prevent chatter or movement during cutting. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer guidance for tool height alignment and depth-of-cut limits.
