Micro 100 RC-500120 Square Cutoff Blade Brazed Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 RC-500120 is a square-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built from brazed solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention needed for precise, repeatable cuts in steel, aluminum, and other machinable materials. The blade measures 6 inches in overall length, 0.5 inches in height, and 0.12 inches in width, making it suited for tight-tolerance cutoff work. The uncoated finish allows straightforward inspection of the cutting edge and is compatible with flood coolant or dry-cutting setups. Machinists and toolroom professionals specify this blade when consistent cut width and blade stability are required.

The RC-500120 fits standard cutoff and parting blade toolholders that accept a square-shank blade profile. It is used in production turning environments and toolroom applications where accurate parting cuts are performed on bar stock, tubing, and turned components. The 6-inch length provides reach for larger-diameter workpieces while the 0.5-inch blade height supports secure clamping in compatible holders. This blade is appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-duty parting operations across a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Brazed solid carbide construction provides high rigidity and wear resistance during cutoff operations
• Square blade style ensures consistent seating and repeatable positioning in the toolholder
• Uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• 0.12-inch width produces a narrow kerf, minimizing material loss during parting
• 6-inch overall length accommodates larger workpiece diameters

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare cutoff blade for standard toolholders accepting a square-profile parting blade with a 0.5-inch height and 0.12-inch width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing or seating the blade. Secure the blade firmly in the toolholder to the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications before operation. Inspect the brazed joint and cutting edge for chips or cracks before each use.
