Measuring 8 mm (approximately 0.315 inches) in width, 8 mm in height, and 100 mm (approximately 3.937 inches) in overall length, this blank provides the raw stock machinists and tool grinders need to produce custom single-point lathe tools, boring bars, and specialty cutting tools. The WKE45 cobalt grade delivers elevated hot hardness and wear resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for grinding tool profiles intended to cut tough ferrous alloys, stainless steel, and high-temperature materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blank is used in tool-and-die shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments where off-the-shelf insert tooling cannot match a custom profile requirement. Machinists grind the blank on a surface grinder or tool grinder to produce the relief angles, rake angles, and nose geometry needed for a specific turning, facing, or threading operation. The square cross-section simplifies clamping in a magnetic chuck or V-block fixture during the grinding process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt high-speed steel grade for improved hot hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section: 8 mm width by 8 mm height for straightforward fixturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 mm overall length provides sufficient stock for grinding multiple tool profiles or resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent blank dimensions allow repeatable tool geometry when ground to a fixed setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use with surface grinders and bench tool grinders with appropriate CBN or aluminum oxide wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose tool bit blank for use in standard tool holders and grinding fixtures that accept 8 mm square shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrinding tool bit blanks is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians using appropriate wheel dressing and coolant practices. Secure the blank firmly in a magnetic chuck or V-block before beginning any grinding operation. Wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the grinding wheel is rated for the material being ground. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machine-guarding requirements when operating grinding equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm (approximately 0.315 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm (approximately 0.315 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 mm (approximately 3.937 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: 02036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564178440498,"sku":"02036","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f014690fb8a15e89aa99a53d48239357.jpg?v=1786513422","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02036-tool-bit-blank-cobalt-wke45-square-8mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
