Accupro 00198937 Solid Carbide Split-end Blank 0.375in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198937 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for precision cutting tool manufacturing and regrinding applications. This blank features a single squared end and a split-end geometry with a 0.5 inch split length, making it suitable for fabricating or reconditioning end mills and similar rotary cutting tools. The overall length is 4 inches and the diameter is 0.375 inches. Diameter tolerance is held to +0.000 to -0.0005 inches, providing the close dimensional control required for tool grinding operations. Machinists, tool grinders, and cutting tool manufacturers work with this type of blank in shop and grinding environments.

This solid carbide blank is used in precision tool grinding shops, production machine shops, and cutting tool reconditioning operations. The 0.375 inch diameter and 4 inch overall length suit it for producing or regrinding short-to-medium length end mill profiles. It is appropriate for facilities that grind their own tooling or recondition worn carbide end mills to extend tool life. Installation or use requires a CNC tool grinder or conventional grinding equipment configured for carbide substrates.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance in grinding applications
• Tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches for precise tool geometry
• Single squared end with 0.5 inch split length for split-end tool fabrication
• 4 inch overall length provides material stock for regrinding or custom tool profiles
• 0.375 inch diameter suits common end mill blank sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style carbide blank for use in CNC and conventional tool grinding operations requiring a 0.375 inch diameter solid carbide split-end blank with a single squared end.

Installation Notes

Handling and grinding of solid carbide blanks should be performed by qualified tool grinders familiar with carbide substrate requirements. Use appropriate diamond grinding wheels rated for carbide; standard aluminum oxide wheels are not suitable. Secure the blank properly in the grinding fixture before operation to prevent slippage or chipping. Follow applicable shop safety protocols, including eye protection and dust collection, when grinding carbide materials.
