It features a C5 solid carbide tip brazed to a steel shank, delivering the hardness needed for general-purpose cutting on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials. The shank measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches tall, with an overall length of 3.5 inches. The pointed nose geometry and 80-degree included angle make this bit well suited for chamfering and angular cuts. Installation and use is handled by machinists and tool-and-die technicians in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is used in residential and industrial machine shops where lathe work requires a neutral cutting direction. The D-style tool bit profile seats in standard right-hand and neutral tool holders that accept a 0.5 inch square shank. Its chamfering application designation makes it a go-to bit when operators need to cut bevels, break edges, or produce angled profiles on turned parts. The 1\/32 inch nose radius provides a pointed contact geometry appropriate for clean, defined angular features rather than radiused or finishing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC5 solid carbide tip for hardness and wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral cutting direction suits straight plunge and chamfering operations without side bias\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eD-style geometry with 80-degree included angle for chamfering and angular profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePointed nose with 1\/32 inch nose radius delivers defined angular contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5 inch square shank fits standard lathe tool holders and turrets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustry Standard Number D-8 for cross-reference with equivalent tooling specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool bit for lathes and boring setups that accept a 0.5 inch square shank single-point tool holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit is installed and set up by machinists using standard lathe tool holders and turret posts. Before changing or adjusting any cutting tool, power down the lathe and confirm the spindle has come to a complete stop. Set tool height to centerline using appropriate shims or an adjustable holder before beginning any cut. Inspect the carbide tip for cracks or chipping before each use, as a damaged tip can cause workpiece damage or tool failure during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 degrees\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: C5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Bit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pointed Nose\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: Chamfering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Standard Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: D-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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: 521\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68384955007282,"sku":"521","price":27.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1f903ddc8b7ad02f8767e95259d1cc66.jpg?v=1793902207","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-521-single-point-tool-bit-c5-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
