Accupro 00198986 Carbide Split-end Blank 3/16 in Dia

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198986 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for precision tooling applications in metalworking and machining environments. This blank features a double squared end geometry and is manufactured from solid carbide for high wear resistance and dimensional stability under demanding cutting conditions. It measures 3/16 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2 inches and a split length of 3/8 inches. The diameter tolerance is held to +0.000 to -0.0005 inches, making it suitable for applications where close tolerances are required. Machinists and tool grinders use blanks like this as the raw stock for custom end mill or specialty cutter fabrication.

This split-end blank is intended for use in precision machining shops, tool and cutter grinding operations, and production environments where custom-ground carbide tooling is required. The double squared end configuration and tight diameter tolerance make it appropriate for grinding into end mills, reamers, or other rotary cutting tools to specific customer or job requirements. It is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual mills, and grinding setups where solid carbide tooling is specified.

Installation Notes

Handling and grinding of solid carbide blanks should be performed by qualified machinists or tool grinders using appropriate carbide-compatible grinding wheels and personal protective equipment. Secure the blank properly in the grinding fixture before beginning any material removal. Inspect the blank for chips or cracks before use, as carbide is brittle and can fracture under improper handling or excessive grinding pressure.
