Accupro 00198861 Carbide Split-end Blank 3/16 in Single Squared

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198861 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for precision toolmaking and custom cutting tool fabrication. The blank measures 3/16 inch in diameter with a 2-inch overall length (OAL) and a 3/8-inch split length. It features a single squared end style, providing a flat, square-faced profile ready for custom grinding or modification. Solid carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding machining applications. Diameter tolerance is held to +0.000 / -0.0005 inches, making this blank suitable for applications where tight dimensional control is critical from the start.

This split-end blank is used in tool grinding shops, production machining environments, and toolroom applications where machinists or tool grinders need a precision-ground carbide substrate to create or regrind cutting tools. It is appropriate for small-diameter end mill fabrication, custom profile tools, and specialty cutting geometries. The single squared-end configuration makes it straightforward to fixture and grind to a desired cutting geometry without additional facing operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for maximum hardness and wear resistance
• 3/16 inch diameter with tight tolerance: +0.000 / -0.0005 inches
• 2-inch overall length provides sufficient shank and working material
• 3/8-inch split length for defined tool-end geometry
• Single squared end style — flat, square-faced profile ready for grinding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid carbide split-end blank suitable for use in tool grinding and regrinding operations where a 3/16-inch diameter carbide substrate is required.

Installation Notes

This blank is a raw substrate intended for use by qualified tool grinders and machinists; it requires custom grinding before use as a cutting tool. Secure the blank properly in an appropriate collet or fixture before grinding operations. Follow all shop safety protocols, including use of appropriate coolant and eye protection, when grinding carbide. Handle with care — carbide is brittle and can chip if dropped or subjected to impact.
