Accupro 00198887 Solid Carbide Split-end Blank 0.25 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198887 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for use in precision machining and cutting tool fabrication. This blank features a single squared end and is manufactured from solid carbide, offering the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding material removal applications. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter with an overall length (OAL) of 2.5 inches and a split length of 0.375 inches. The diameter tolerance is held to a tight +0.000 / -0.0005 inches, making it suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and tool grinders install this type of blank when fabricating or regrinding custom end mill profiles.

This split-end blank is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and production grinding environments. It is typically used as raw stock for custom cutting tools, including end mills and similar rotary cutting instruments. The solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for applications involving hardened steels, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and other abrasive workpiece materials where high-speed steel tooling would wear prematurely. Tool and die makers and precision grinders are the primary users of this type of blank.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and wear resistance
• Single squared end geometry for consistent regrinding and tool fabrication
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 / -0.0005 inches for dimensional accuracy
• 0.375 inches split length suited for standard end mill blank profiles
• 2.5 inches overall length provides adequate stock for grinding custom tool geometries

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid carbide split-end blank for use in tool grinding and custom cutting tool fabrication across a range of CNC and manual machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of split-end blanks is performed by qualified tool grinders using precision surface or cylindrical grinding equipment. Secure the blank properly in the grinding fixture before beginning any material removal. Handle carbide blanks with care to avoid chipping the cutting edges or end faces prior to grinding. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety standards when grinding carbide materials.
