Value Collection 383-8626 TSE-8 Tool Bit C6 Carbide Boring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 383-8626 is a single-point, square shank boring tool bit built to TSE-8 industry standard geometry. The bit features a solid carbide tip rated at C6 grade, suited for general-purpose boring operations on steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The neutral cutting direction and 15-degree lead angle make it appropriate for straight boring passes where side cutting forces must be minimized. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.5 inch square shank, this tool seats firmly in standard boring bar holders and tool posts. A 1/32 inch nose radius supports a clean finish on bored surfaces. Weighing 0.25 pounds, it is a compact, ready-to-use insert for production and maintenance turning applications.

This tool bit is intended for boring operations on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and similar machine tool setups where a TSE-8 standard single-point bit is specified. The C6 carbide grade is well matched to medium-speed cutting of ferrous metals in typical shop environments. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals working with boring bars in the TSE style will find this a direct-fit option. It ships as a single unit and is packaged individually.

Key Features

• TSE-8 industry standard geometry for consistent fitment in compatible tool holders
• C6 grade solid carbide tip for wear resistance in general-purpose boring of ferrous materials
• Neutral cutting direction with 15-degree lead angle for straight boring passes
• 1/32 inch nose radius for clean surface finish on bored diameters
• 0.5 inch square shank fits standard boring bar and tool post holders
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length suits confined tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement or standard-stock single-point boring tool bit for machine tool setups that call for TSE-8 style square shank boring bits with a 0.5 inch shank and C6 carbide tip.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the machinist or toolroom technician setting up the lathe or boring machine. The machine must be powered down and the spindle brought to a full stop before seating or changing tool bits. Secure the shank firmly in the tool holder to the holder manufacturer's specified clamping procedure to prevent tool movement during cutting. Do not exceed the cutting parameters appropriate for C6 carbide grade and the workpiece material being machined.
