Value Collection 383-8532 TSC-10 Square Shank Boring Tool Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8532 is a single-point square shank boring tool bit built to industry standard TSC-10 specifications. It features a solid carbide tip graded C2, making it well suited for machining harder materials at moderate cutting speeds. The shank measures 5/8 inches in both height and width, giving it a rigid, square profile that seats securely in standard boring bar holders. Overall length is 3 inches. The neutral cutting direction means the bit neither deflects left nor right during the cut, and the 1/32 inch nose radius produces a controlled surface finish. This tool bit is installed and used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual and CNC lathes.

This tool bit is designed for boring operations on lathes and boring mills in both job shop and production environments. The TSC-10 style designation identifies it as a standard square shank boring bit, a widely recognized format across metalworking tooling catalogs. It is appropriate for through-bore and blind-bore applications where a neutral tool orientation is specified. The C2 carbide grade handles general-purpose machining of cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials at conventional cutting speeds.

Key Features

• C2 solid carbide tip for wear resistance and extended tool life on general-purpose boring applications
• Neutral cutting direction for straight, non-deflecting boring cuts
• 5/8 inch by 5/8 inch square shank conforms to TSC-10 industry standard dimensions
• 1/32 inch nose radius provides controlled surface finish
• 3 inch overall length fits standard boring bar holders without overhang concerns
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit option for any boring bar holder or tool block accepting a 5/8 inch square shank single-point boring bit per the TSC-10 industry standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using standard set screws or clamping mechanisms on the lathe or boring mill tool post. The machine spindle must be stopped and all motion fully arrested before seating or removing the bit. Secure the shank fully within the holder to minimize overhang and reduce chatter. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting tool height and feed rates.
