It features a solid carbide tip rated at C6 grade, delivering the hardness and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in metal boring operations. The shank measures 3\/8 inches in both height and width, with an overall length of 1-3\/4 inches. The neutral cutting direction and 1\/64 inch nose radius make it suitable for straight boring passes where tool deflection and surface finish are both concerns. Machinists and toolroom operators working with manual lathes, boring bars, or CNC turning centers rely on this style of insert for precision internal diameter work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is intended for boring applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in production and job-shop environments. The TSC-6 form factor is a recognized industry standard, making it a common fit for square shank boring bar holders sized for 3\/8 inch shanks. It is well suited to residential and light industrial machine shop settings where repeatability and insert-grade consistency are required on short-run and repeat boring jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTSC-6 industry standard form factor for broad holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC6 solid carbide tip grade for high hardness and abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral cutting direction for straight axial boring passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/64 inch nose radius for controlled surface finish in bored bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare shank design — 3\/8 inches height by 3\/8 inches width — for secure clamping in standard holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 1-3\/4 inch overall length minimizes overhang and tool deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a TSC-6 standard single-point boring tool bit compatible with square shank boring bar holders accepting a 3\/8 inch shank cross-section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the holder to the holder manufacturer's clamping specification to prevent chatter or pullout during the cut. Inspect the carbide tip for edge integrity before use — do not run a chipped or cracked carbide tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TSC-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: TSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Shank Boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64 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: C6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: 383-8516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699743097138,"sku":"383-8516","price":45.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/76f15189dc2bc473a72203628cf22471.jpg?v=1788380152","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-8516-tsc-6-boring-tool-bit-3-8-in-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
