Value Collection 383-8226 GR-16 Single-point Tool Bit C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8226 is a GR-style single-point tool bit designed for precision turning and facing operations on a lathe. This offset end cutting tool features a C6 solid carbide tip brazed to a 1 inch by 1 inch square shank, making it suitable for demanding cutting applications where edge retention and wear resistance are critical. With a 7 inch overall length and a 1/32 inch nose radius, it delivers controlled surface finish in standard turning and facing-to-shoulder setups. The tool weighs 1.75 pounds and is a right-hand cutting configuration. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this type of bit in standard lathe toolholders for production and maintenance turning work.

This tool bit is engineered for turning and facing to shoulder as well as work performed close to a chuck jaw — situations that demand a rigid, offset end cutting geometry. It suits general-purpose lathe operations in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where a reliable single-point carbide tool is required. The GR-16 industry standard designation ensures dimensional interchangeability with compatible toolholders sized for a 1 inch shank.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and adjusted by machinists or tool and die professionals. Power down the lathe and engage the spindle lock before seating or removing the bit from the toolholder. Ensure the cutting edge is set on center with the workpiece centerline before engaging the cut. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cratering before each use and replace the tool if the tip is compromised.
