Kennametal 5977637 Indexable Cutoff Blade Double End Neutral

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5977637 is a double-end, neutral-cutting indexable cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built to the EVBS blade style in the Beyond Evolution series, it accepts EG0500M05P04 insert geometry and uses a clamp-style insert holding method for secure, repeatable positioning. The blade measures 25.1mm in height, 4mm in width, and 150.25mm overall length, with a cutting height of 25.05mm and a 4mm insert width. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with production turning equipment will find this blade suited to demanding cutoff applications where consistent insert indexing and rigid blade support are required.

This blade is intended for use in production and job-shop turning environments where precise parting and cutoff operations are performed. The double-end configuration allows both ends of the blade to be used, extending service life between replacements. The neutral cutting direction suits straight-in parting applications on horizontal or vertical turning centers. Insert seat size is 5, compatible with the specified EG0500M05P04 insert style. The Beyond Evolution series designation indicates compatibility with the corresponding Kennametal insert family for this blade geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the turning center before mounting or indexing the blade and insert. Ensure the blade is fully seated and all clamping hardware is properly torqued per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Inspect insert seating and clamp condition at each insert index interval.
