Micro 100 RC-500100 Square Cutoff Blade Brazed Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 RC-500100 is a square-style cutoff blade designed for precision parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Constructed from brazed solid carbide, this blade delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for consistent, repeatable cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The uncoated finish suits applications where dimensional accuracy takes priority over extended dry-run tool life. At 6 inches in overall length, 0.5 inches in height, and 0.1 inches in width, the RC-500100 fits standard cutoff blade holders used in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and toolroom technicians typically install this blade when tight tolerances and clean parting surfaces are required.

The RC-500100 is suited for use in production turning operations where consistent cutoff geometry is critical. Its square blade style makes it a straightforward fit for standard blade-style toolholders on engine lathes and turret lathes. The 0.1-inch cutting width minimizes material loss during parting, making it a practical choice for operations involving costly stock or tight-tolerance blanks. Both manual machinists and CNC operators in industrial, aerospace, and general metalworking shops will find this blade applicable to a wide range of parting tasks.

Key Features

• Brazed solid carbide construction provides high rigidity and wear resistance for demanding parting operations
• Square blade style fits standard cutoff blade toolholders without modification
• 0.1-inch width minimizes material loss and reduces cutting forces during parting
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and suits a broad range of workpiece materials
• 6-inch overall length accommodates reach requirements on most production turning setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cutoff blade for use in standard blade-style turning toolholders that accept square cutoff blades 0.1 inches wide, 0.5 inches high, and 6 inches in overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before changing or seating the blade, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out per applicable safety procedures. Secure the blade in the toolholder to the holder manufacturer's specified clamping method, verifying blade height alignment to centerline before resuming cuts. Inspect the brazed joint and cutting edge for chips or damage prior to each use.
