Omega's Boring Bar with a steel shank is engineered for precise internal boring across a variety of workpieces. Designed for right-hand use and compatible with VCMT1604 and VCGT1604 inserts, it provides reliable rigidity and consistent cutting performance in demanding machining environments.

• Right-Hand configuration: Optimized for clockwise cutting motions to match common machine setups and deliver predictable bore geometry.
• Steel shank: Provides superior rigidity and resistance to deflection, helping maintain tight tolerances throughout the cut.
• Insert compatibility: Specifically designed to accommodate VCMT1604 and VCGT1604 inserts, enabling interchangeable edge geometries and carbide grades for different materials.
• Designation: Noted as S40V SVUCR 16, reflecting precision-standard construction and reliable interface for secure seating and alignment.
• Balanced cutting geometry: Geometrically optimized to promote smooth chip flow and stable engagement with the workpiece surface.

This boring bar shines in precision finishing and semi-finishing operations where consistent bore diameter and surface quality matter. The robust steel shank minimizes vibration and deflection, enabling cleaner cuts, more uniform chip formation, and easier post-process tolerances. Its VCMT/VCGT insert compatibility broadens material capability—from tougher steels to softer alloys—without needing multiple tool bodies. Ideal for automotive components, hydraulic housings, and general-purpose boring tasks where repeatable performance and quick insert changes are valued.
