It features a C6-grade solid carbide tip and a neutral cutting direction, making it well-suited for straight boring passes where consistent chip load and tool life matter. The shank measures 3\/4 inches in height and 3\/4 inches in width, with an overall length of 3.5 inches. A 1\/32-inch nose radius delivers a controlled finish on bored surfaces. Machinists and toolroom operators specify this type of bit when boring with a lathe or horizontal boring mill where rigidity and carbide hardness are required for ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is intended for boring operations on metal lathes and boring mills in job shop, production, and maintenance-repair environments. The TSC-12 designation identifies the shank size and style within the TSC series, allowing direct selection by machinists familiar with standard boring bar sizing. The neutral cutting geometry makes it adaptable for both right-hand and left-hand setups without requiring a separate handed tool, reducing tooling inventory requirements on mixed-operation machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC6-grade solid carbide tip for extended wear resistance on hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral cutting direction — compatible with both right-hand and left-hand boring setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch square shank for positive seating in standard boring bar holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/32-inch nose radius for controlled surface finish in bored bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTSC-12 industry standard designation for straightforward tool selection and replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 3.5-inch overall length suited to close-clearance boring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct TSC-12 standard replacement for square shank single-point boring tool bit applications on metal lathes and boring mills that accept 3\/4 inch by 3\/4 inch shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank fully in the tool holder or boring bar with appropriate set screws, ensuring the tip is centered on the workpiece centerline before engaging the cut. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting tool bits. Do not exceed the machine manufacturer's recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and tool geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TSC-12\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\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: 3.5 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: Boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 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: 383-8546\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710329749810,"sku":"383-8546","price":52.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0f31d07596cd530a6f590a2e8fa743bb.jpg?v=1788465719","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-383-8546-tsc-12-carbide-tool-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
