It measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches high with a 6-inch overall length. Tool bit blanks are unground, solid stock used by machinists and toolmakers to grind custom cutting tool profiles for lathe, mill, or boring applications. The WKE45 cobalt alloy provides elevated hot hardness and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and harder ferrous workpieces. Grinding and finishing are performed by the end user to the required geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blank is intended for job shops, tool-and-die operations, and maintenance machining environments where custom or non-standard cutting tool geometries are required. The square cross-section allows the blank to be ground to a wide range of single-point turning, threading, parting, or form-tool profiles. It is appropriate for use in standard tool holders that accept 0.5-inch square shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt HSS grade for improved hot hardness and edge retention over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section: 0.5 inches x 0.5 inches for compatibility with standard 0.5-inch tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides ample stock for grinding multiple tools or extended-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnground blank allows full custom profile grinding by the end user\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid cobalt alloy construction throughout the full length of the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard tool holders and grinding fixtures that accept 0.5-inch square shank tool bits.

Wear proper eye protection and follow shop safety procedures when grinding. Ensure the tool holder set screw and mounting surfaces are clean and undamaged before seating the finished bit. Do not attempt to use an unground blank as a cutting tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: WKE45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561546318130,"sku":"02014","price":57.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/acc9669ebe64413c777dc142debd00b0.jpg?v=1786465388","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02014-tool-bit-blank-wke45-cobalt-square-0-5x0-5x6-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
