It follows the GL-12 industry standard and features an offset end cutting geometry in a left-hand cutting direction. The shank measures 3\/4 inches in height and 3\/4 inches in width, with an overall length of 4-1\/2 inches. The cutting tip is solid carbide, grade C2, which provides good wear resistance for general-purpose turning on steel and cast iron. A 1\/32-inch nose radius is ground into the tip to balance surface finish quality with tool strength. This bit is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual and CNC lathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is suited for turning and facing operations that require working close to a chuck jaw or facing to a shoulder. The left-hand cutting direction means the tool feeds from left to right relative to the workpiece. The offset end cutting style makes it practical for undercutting, facing shoulders, and similar operations where a straight or right-hand bit would not clear the workpiece geometry. It is a solid-carbide-tipped insert-style bit intended for production and job-shop lathe work in both light and moderate cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGL-12 industry standard offset end cutting geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for left-to-right feed operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 grade solid carbide tip for general-purpose turning on steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/32-inch nose radius for a balance of surface finish and edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inches by 3\/4 inches square shank for rigid tool post mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-1\/2 inches overall length for standard lathe tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use tool bit for lathes equipped with tool posts or holders accepting a 3\/4-inch square shank, conforming to the GL-12 industry standard geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists using a standard lathe tool post or tool holder. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before securing or removing any tool bit. Set tool height on center with the lathe spindle axis using shims or an adjustable holder before taking any cut. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or cracking before each use and do not run a damaged tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: GL-12\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: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 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: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\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: 383-8332\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721155019058,"sku":"383-8332","price":60.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/290f0e810cdd1fd7e8b5ac7a9b964643.jpg?v=1788574502","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-8332-gl-12-single-point-tool-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
