Value Collection 383-8236 GR-12 Single-point Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8236 is a GR-style single-point tool bit designed for turning and facing operations on manual and CNC lathes. It features a solid carbide tip grade C6, which provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals at sustained feeds and speeds. The shank measures 3/4 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 4.5 inches. The right-hand cutting direction and offset end-cutting geometry make this bit suitable for turning toward the chuck and facing to a shoulder. Machinists and toolroom operators install this bit directly into a tool post or boring bar holder.

This tool bit is configured for turning and facing applications where the tool must work close to a chuck jaw or cut to a shoulder without clearance issues. The GR-12 style designation identifies the geometry per industry-standard classification. A 1/32-inch nose radius provides a balance between surface finish quality and edge strength during general-purpose turning operations. It is commonly used in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance machine shops on steel, cast iron, and similar materials.

Key Features

• GR-style offset end-cutting geometry for turning and facing to shoulder
• C6 solid carbide tip grade for wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch shank cross-section fits standard tool post holders
• 1/32 inch nose radius balances surface finish and edge durability
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe approach
• 4.5 inch overall length for reach in typical tool post setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool bit for standard tool post holders and indexable tool holders accepting a 3/4 inch square shank with GR-12 industry-standard geometry.

Installation Notes

This tool bit is installed and set by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank firmly in the tool post holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for the holder being used. Ensure the cutting edge is set to the correct center height relative to the workpiece before beginning a cut. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the tip is damaged.
