Kennametal 6513526 Indexable Cutoff Blade Double End Neutral

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6513526 is a double-end neutral indexable cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The blade measures 32 millimeters in height, 3.4 millimeters in width, and 150.25 millimeters in overall length, providing a rigid platform for consistent insert positioning. It uses a clamp-style insert holding method compatible with the EG0400M04P04 insert style at a 4 millimeter insert width. Part of the Beyond Evolution series, this blade is built for machinists and toolroom technicians running high-volume cutoff work where insert security and repeatability are critical.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in production turning environments, including both light industrial and heavy-duty machining cells. The double-end configuration allows the blade to be flipped when one end shows wear, extending useful tool life before replacement. With a maximum depth of cut of 50 millimeters and a cutting height of 25.05 millimeters, it accommodates a wide range of bar stock diameters typical in general metalworking and precision parts manufacturing. It is intended for installation by machinists or tooling technicians familiar with indexable turning systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine powered off and in a locked-out state. Secure the blade firmly in the toolholder before seating the insert, and verify clamping torque using the tooling manufacturer's guidelines for the specific holder. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before installing a new insert. Follow the machine manufacturer's setup procedures and applicable shop safety standards when configuring cutoff tooling.
