Accupro 00198994 Carbide Split-end Blank 3/16 in Double Squared

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 00198994 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for precision cutting tool fabrication and regrinding applications. It features a double squared end style with a 3/16 inch diameter and a 3 inch overall length (OAL), with a 3/8 inch split length. Solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding machining operations. The tight diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches makes this blank suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy is critical. Machinists and toolmakers use blanks like this as the starting material for custom end mills, reamers, and specialty cutting tools.

This split-end blank is used in machine shops and tool-and-cutter grinding operations where standard off-the-shelf tooling does not meet the required geometry. The double squared end configuration suits applications that require a flat, perpendicular cutting face as the base profile before further grinding. The 3/16 inch diameter fits small-diameter tooling requirements common in precision mold making, die work, and fine-feature machining. Tool grinders and experienced machinists are the primary users for this type of blank stock.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and wear resistance
• Double squared end style for flat, perpendicular base geometry
• 3/16 inch diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.000 to -0.0005 inches
• 3 inch overall length (OAL) with a 3/8 inch split length
• Suitable as raw stock for custom cutting tool fabrication and regrinding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide blank compatible with standard tool-and-cutter grinding setups that accept 3/16 inch diameter round stock for custom cutting tool production.

Installation Notes

This blank requires grinding by a qualified toolmaker or tool-and-cutter grinder operator before use as a cutting tool. Secure the blank properly in the grinder collet or fixture to prevent movement during grinding operations. Inspect the blank for chips or cracks before mounting. Follow shop safety protocols and wear appropriate eye protection when grinding carbide.
