Gws 700-007099B Rectangular Carbide Blank Series 1000

Product Description

The GWS 700-007099B is a rectangular carbide blank in the Series 1000 lineup, supplied unground and ready for custom tooling applications. Manufactured to material grade C2 (industry grade C2), this blank meets industry specification 1260. It measures 0.625 inches in length, 0.3125 inches in width, and 0.1875 inches in thickness. Carbide blanks at this grade are suited for machining, cutting tool fabrication, and wear-part production where a raw, unfinished carbide substrate is required before grinding to final geometry.

This blank is intended for machinists, tool-and-die makers, and precision grinding shops that produce or recondition cutting tools, inserts, and wear components. The unground surface allows the end user to grind the blank to exact dimensions and edge geometry. It is commonly used in metalworking, industrial tooling, and manufacturing environments where tight tolerances and consistent carbide grade are critical to tool performance.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are worked by tool grinders and machinists using diamond grinding wheels and precision fixtures. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when grinding carbide, as dust and chips are hazardous. Secure the blank firmly in a fixture or vise rated for carbide grinding operations before material removal. Do not attempt to grind or braze carbide without the proper equipment and training.
