Value Collection 383-8506 Boring Tool Bit TSC-5 C6 Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8506 is a square shank boring tool bit conforming to the TSC-5 industry standard. It features a solid carbide tip graded C6, suited for general-purpose boring operations in metal cutting applications. The shank measures 5/16 inches in both height and width, and the overall length is 1.5 inches. A neutral cutting direction makes this bit appropriate for straight boring passes without a left or right hand orientation preference. Machinists and tool and die professionals install this type of bit in boring bars and related holders for internal diameter work on lathes and machining centers.

This tool bit is designed for boring applications in machining environments, including job shops and production floors. The TSC-5 standard geometry ensures compatibility with holders and boring bars built to that specification. The 1/64 inch nose radius provides a controlled surface finish during boring passes. The compact 1.5 inch overall length suits smaller boring bar setups where clearance is limited.
