Micro 100 T-102 Parallel Cutoff Blade Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 T-102 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for precision parting and grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. Constructed from brazed solid carbide with an uncoated finish, the T-102 delivers the rigidity and wear resistance that machinists demand in high-accuracy material removal applications. The blade measures 0.093 inches wide, 0.5 inches high, and 4.5 inches in overall length, making it well suited for consistent, repeatable cutoff work in both production and job-shop environments. It is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals working with metal-cutting lathes.

The T-102 is intended for use in parting and cutoff toolholders that accept parallel-style blades. Its brazed solid carbide construction makes it appropriate for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a sharp, stable cutting edge and tight dimensional tolerances are required. The uncoated carbide surface is suitable for applications where coating buildup could affect dimensional accuracy or where re-grinding is part of the maintenance workflow.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style for consistent depth and straight cutoff profiles
• Brazed solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Uncoated finish suitable for re-grinding and precision-critical applications
• 0.093-inch width minimizes material loss during parting operations
• 4.5-inch overall length provides reach for standard lathe cutoff toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit cutoff blade for parallel-style lathe and turning center toolholders that accept blades with a 0.093-inch width and 0.5-inch height profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before securing or replacing a cutoff blade. Ensure the blade is seated squarely and clamped firmly in the toolholder to prevent chatter or blade deflection during the cut. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications and applicable shop safety procedures.
