Value Collection Scb .187 Boring Bar Solid Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SCB .187 is a solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal boring operations on small-diameter features. With a minimum bore diameter of 0.18 inches and a maximum bore depth of 0.81 inches, this tool is suited for tight, shallow bore applications where rigidity and edge retention are critical. The solid carbide construction resists deflection and maintains cutting geometry under high-speed or interrupted cutting conditions. A 5/32-inch shank diameter and a 2-inch overall length make it compatible with standard small-bore tool holders and CNC turning center setups. Machinists and tool room operators working on precision components rely on this bar for consistent, repeatable results.

This boring bar is used in production and job-shop machining environments where small internal diameters are required. It is suited for CNC lathes, turret lathes, and manual boring setups where a compact, rigid cutting tool is necessary. Typical applications include finish boring of bores in small hydraulic components, fixtures, bushings, and similar precision parts. The carbide grade provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials including steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

Key Features

• Minimum bore diameter of 0.18 inches allows access to small internal features
• Maximum bore depth of 0.81 inches suits shallow through and blind bore applications
• Solid carbide construction provides stiffness and reduces tool deflection in tight bores
• 5/32-inch shank diameter fits standard small-bore tool holders
• 2-inch overall length keeps the tool compact for close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard interchangeable boring bar for use in any tool holder accepting a 5/32-inch round shank in CNC or manual turning applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or adjusting the boring bar in the tool holder. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the manufacturer-recommended grip length to minimize overhang and vibration. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tooling can fracture if run with a damaged edge.
