Accupro 00198895 Carbide Split-end Blank 0.25in 4in Oal

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198895 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for use as raw tool stock in the production of custom or specialty cutting tools. The blank features a single squared end and measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 4-inch overall length (OAL) and a 3/8-inch split length. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for demanding machining applications. Diameter tolerance is held to a tight +0.000 to -0.0005 inches, making this blank suitable for precision grinding operations. Machinists and tool grinders select blanks like this one when fabricating or regrinding end mills, drills, and other rotary cutting tools to custom specifications.

This split-end blank is intended for use in machine shop and tool-and-die environments where custom cutting tools are ground from stock. It is well suited for precision tool rooms, regrind shops, and production grinding operations. The split-end design facilitates accurate, repeatable grinding setups. Typical users include tool grinders and machinists working in metalworking, mold making, and aerospace applications that require tight-tolerance, custom-ground carbide tooling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high rigidity and extended wear life in grinding and machining applications
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches for precision fitment and concentricity
• Single squared end geometry for consistent tool grinding reference surfaces
• 3/8-inch split length provides a defined grinding zone for custom tool fabrication
• 4-inch overall length offers sufficient stock for a range of custom tool configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide blank for use in precision tool grinding operations where a 0.25-inch diameter, 4-inch OAL split-end blank is specified.

Installation Notes

Grinding of carbide blanks should be performed by qualified tool grinders using appropriate diamond grinding wheels rated for solid carbide. Secure the blank properly in a tool and cutter grinder or cylindrical grinder before beginning any material removal. Inspect the blank for cracks or chips before grinding. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures, including the use of eye protection and coolant as required by the grinding operation.
