Built to the GL-12 industry standard, this left-hand offset end cutting bit features a 3\/4-inch shank height, 3\/4-inch shank width, and an overall length of 4.5 inches. The cutting tip is C6-grade solid carbide, selected for its hardness and wear resistance in general-purpose turning applications. A 1\/32-inch nose radius provides a fine finish on the workpiece. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this bit directly into a compatible tool holder or turret post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is suited for turning and facing to a shoulder, as well as working in close proximity to a chuck jaw where a right-hand bit cannot reach. The left-hand cutting direction makes it the correct choice when the tool must travel from left to right relative to the spindle. It is used in both manual engine lathes and semi-automatic production turning setups. Its compact 4.5-inch overall length fits standard tool block setups common in job shops and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGL-12 industry standard offset end cutting geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC6-grade solid carbide tip for extended tool life in general-purpose turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for shoulder facing and chuck-jaw clearance operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch square shank fits standard tool holders for that shank size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/32-inch nose radius for balanced finish quality and edge strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5-inch overall length suits common tool post and turret block configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool bit for lathes and turning centers that accept a 3\/4-inch square shank, GL-style single-point tool holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA qualified machinist should install and set tool bit height to the spindle centerline before running the machine. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before inserting or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Use appropriate clamping torque on the set screws to secure the shank without fracturing the carbide tip. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines when operating cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03125 inches (1\/32 inch)\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: C6\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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 383-8336\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698656903474,"sku":"383-8336","price":42.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6e8c688b02a4a893a930d6128925f882.jpg?v=1788366037","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-8336-gl-12-tool-bit-left-hand-c6-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
