Accupro 00198879 Carbide Split-end Blank 3/16 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198879 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for use as a cutting tool blank or blank stock in precision machining applications. This single squared-end blank features a 3/16-inch diameter and a 3-inch overall length (OAL), with a 3/8-inch split length. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and hardness required for tight-tolerance work. The diameter tolerance is held to +0.000 to -0.0005 inches, making this blank suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. It is sold individually as a single-piece unit.

This split-end blank is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where custom cutting tools or specialty end mills need to be ground to specification. It suits CNC grinding operations, manual tool-and-cutter grinding, and prototype tooling work. The squared single end provides a defined starting geometry for grinding operations. It is typically handled by tool-and-die makers, CNC programmers, or skilled machinists performing in-house tool grinding or regrinding work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance
• 3/16-inch diameter with tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches
• 3-inch overall length suitable for standard tool holding and grinding setups
• 3/8-inch split length for defined blank geometry prior to grinding
• Single squared end for straightforward setup on tool-and-cutter grinders
• Sold as an individual piece with no minimum quantity beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-geometry solid carbide blank for use in tool grinding applications where a 3/16-inch diameter, single squared-end split-end blank is required.

Installation Notes

This blank is a raw stock item intended for grinding into a finished cutting tool and is not used as-is in a machining spindle. Handling carbide blanks requires care to avoid chipping the ends or edges prior to grinding. Secure the blank properly in a collet or chuck during the grinding operation following the grinder manufacturer's setup procedures. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when grinding carbide.
