Built to the GL-10 industry standard, it features a C2-grade solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for production turning on steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The shank measures 5\/8 inches in height and 5\/8 inches in width, with an overall length of 4 inches. A 1\/32-inch nose radius gives the cutting edge a controlled, repeatable finish geometry suited for shoulder turning and work performed close to the chuck jaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is configured for left-hand cutting direction, making it appropriate for right-to-left turning passes on a manual or CNC lathe. The GL-style offset end-cutting geometry is commonly used in turning and facing-to-shoulder applications, as well as operations that require the cutting tool to work in close proximity to the chuck jaw or a workpiece shoulder. It is typically installed by machinists and toolroom operators in job shop, maintenance machining, and light production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGL-10 industry standard designation for consistent toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2-grade solid carbide tip for wear resistance on steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset end-cutting geometry for shoulder turning and chuck-clearance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for right-to-left lathe passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/32-inch nose radius for controlled surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 4-inch overall length suited for standard tool post holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit single-point tool bit for GL-10 standard toolholders used in manual and CNC lathe applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists using a standard tool post or boring bar holder sized for a 5\/8-inch shank. Ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before seating or adjusting the tool bit. Set tool height to centerline using shims or an adjustable holder before taking a cut. Do not exceed the cutting parameters appropriate for the workpiece material and C2 carbide grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GL-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: GL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Offset End Cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: C2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Turning and Facing to Shoulder, Work Close to Chuck Jaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.49 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 383-8312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704336777522,"sku":"383-8312","price":42.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/218d0257b98c5d5790da62a9fe9ae6d4.jpg?v=1788421993","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-8312-gl-10-tool-bit-left-hand-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
