Widia 2836573 Solid Carbide Boring Bar 5/32 in Right Hand

Product Description

The WIDIA 2836573 is a submicron solid carbide boring bar designed for precision internal turning and boring operations in metal cutting applications. It features a right-hand cutting direction, a minimum bore diameter of 5/32 inches (0.156 inches), and a maximum bore depth of 1/2 inch (0.500 inches). The shank diameter matches the minimum bore diameter at 5/32 inches, and the overall length is 1.150 inches. Built from submicron-grade carbide, this bar delivers tight dimensional control and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This boring bar is suited for small-diameter internal boring work on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Its compact overall length of 1.150 inches makes it appropriate for short-reach applications where clearance is limited. The ABD series design accommodates precision boring in both manual and CNC lathe setups where tight tolerances on bore diameter and finish are required.

Compatibility

Designed for use in small-diameter internal boring applications on CNC or manual lathes where the workpiece material includes steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals, as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or locked-out state before changing or setting any tooling. The boring bar should be clamped securely in an appropriate tool holder sized for a 5/32-inch shank to prevent deflection during cutting. Follow the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines and shop safety procedures when setting tool offsets and runout.
