Accupro 84380245 Solid Carbide Split-end Blank 5/16 in

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 84380245 is a solid carbide split-end blank designed for precision toolmaking and custom end mill fabrication. This blank features a single full radius end style and is ground from solid carbide stock, providing the hardness and rigidity required for regrinding, resharpening, or custom flute machining operations. At 5/16 inch in diameter with a 2-1/2 inch overall length and a 1/2 inch split length, it is sized for light to medium cutting tool applications. Tool and cutter grinders, machining shops, and specialty tooling fabricators use blanks like this as the starting point for finished rotary cutting tools.

This split-end blank is suited for use in machine shops and tooling rooms that produce or recondition rotary cutting tools. The full radius end geometry makes it appropriate for fabricating ball-style or corner-radius end mills. The 5/16 inch diameter is a common size for tooling used in die and mold work, aerospace component machining, and general precision metalworking. Installation and finishing of this blank is performed by qualified tool grinders using CNC or manual grinding equipment.

Installation Notes

Handling and grinding of carbide blanks should be performed by experienced tool grinders using appropriate diamond grinding wheels rated for carbide stock. Secure the blank firmly in the grinding fixture before starting any material removal. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when operating grinding equipment. Finished tools should be inspected dimensionally before use in production cutting applications.
