Micro 100 LC-500060 Square Cutoff Blade Brazed Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 LC-500060 is a square-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Constructed from brazed solid carbide, it delivers consistent edge retention and dimensional stability under the heat and pressure of continuous cutting cycles. The blade measures 0.06 inches wide, 0.5 inches high, and 6 inches long, making it well-suited for tight-clearance parting applications where rigidity and precise width control are critical. Machinists and toolroom operators install this blade in compatible cutoff toolholders for production turning work.

This cutoff blade is used in metal-cutting environments where a narrow kerf and clean parting surface are required. It is appropriate for turning a range of materials including steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The uncoated brazed carbide construction is particularly effective in applications where a sharp, uncoated edge is preferred over coated alternatives, such as when cutting softer or gummy materials. It suits both production shop floors and toolroom setups requiring a reliable, off-the-shelf blade geometry.

Key Features

• Square blade style for consistent width and straightforward toolholder alignment
• Brazed solid carbide construction for edge retention and rigidity during parting operations
• Uncoated finish provides a sharp cutting edge suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials
• 0.06 inch blade width minimizes material loss at the parting line
• 6 inch overall length accommodates standard cutoff toolholder reach requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in cutoff and grooving toolholders that accept square-shank blades with a 0.5 inch height and 0.06 inch width. Verify toolholder slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

A qualified machinist or toolroom technician should install this blade following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping procedure. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before blade removal or installation. Inspect the toolholder slot for chips or burrs that could affect blade seating and perpendicularity. Secure all clamping screws to the toolholder manufacturer's specification before resuming cutting operations.
