Seco 01320 Tool Bit Blank Cobalt WKE45 Round 10mm X 160mm

Product Description

The SECO 01320 is a round cobalt tool bit blank designed for use in custom tooling applications where a machinist or toolroom professional grinds the cutting geometry to suit a specific operation. Manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 10 mm (approximately 0.394 inches) in both width and height, with an overall length of 160 mm (approximately 6.299 inches). The WKE45 grade offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance suited to demanding cutting conditions. This blank is supplied unground, making it the starting point for fabricating lathe tools, boring bars, form tools, and other single-point or custom cutting tools.

This tool bit blank is intended for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where standard insert tooling does not meet the geometry or clearance requirements of a specific job. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians commonly select cobalt blanks of this size for turning, facing, and profiling operations on manual and CNC lathes. The round end shape accommodates a variety of custom ground profiles and is well suited to boring and profiling applications where a cylindrical shank is required.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated wear resistance and toughness
• Round end shape accommodates custom ground cutting geometries
• 10 mm x 10 mm cross-section fits standard tool holders and grinding fixtures for that size range
• 160 mm overall length provides sufficient stock for grinding and re-grinding multiple times
• Supplied unground, ready for custom tool fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an unground tool bit blank for use in standard tool holders and grinding setups that accept 10 mm round cobalt high-speed steel stock.

Installation Notes

Grinding of this blank should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool grinder using appropriate wheel specifications for high-speed steel materials. Proper personal protective equipment, including eye protection, is required during grinding operations. Ensure the blank is securely fixtured before grinding to maintain dimensional accuracy and proper cutting geometry. Follow your facility's toolroom safety procedures throughout the fabrication process.
