Made from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 6 mm in width, 6 mm in height, and 100 mm in overall length. The WKE45 material grade offers elevated hot hardness and wear resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for grinding into tools that will cut tough or abrasive workpiece materials. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and production shops use blanks like this when a standard insert geometry does not meet the application requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blank is appropriate for use in toolroom environments where custom single-point lathe tools, form relieving tools, or specialty threading tools are ground to print. The compact 6 mm cross-section fits small-bore toolholders and Swiss-style lathe applications where reduced shank dimensions are required. The round end profile allows the grinder to establish the desired relief and rake angles from scratch without being constrained by a pre-ground geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved hot hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound end shape provides a neutral starting profile for custom tool grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 mm x 6 mm cross-section suits small-bore holders and Swiss-style lathe setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 mm overall length offers adequate stock for grinding and resharpening multiple times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent dimensional tolerance supports accurate tool geometry when ground to specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a universal cobalt tool bit blank suitable for use in any toolholder or grinder fixture that accepts a 6 mm square or round-shank blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks of this type are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist or tool grinder using a bench or surface grinder equipped with appropriate wheels for high-speed steel. Eye protection, proper wheel guards, and work-rest adjustments per OSHA grinding safety standards apply. The blank should be inspected for surface cracks before grinding. Do not attempt to use an unground blank directly as a cutting tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 mm\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: Round\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: 02080\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562384359730,"sku":"02080","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4cedae23b2360d2c0cb0c1613b757e0b.jpg?v=1786476094","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-02080-tool-bit-blank-wke45-cobalt-round","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
