Seco 02134 Tool Bit Blank WKE45 Cobalt Round 6 Inches

Product Description

The SECO 02134 is a cobalt tool bit blank designed for machinists and toolroom professionals who need to grind and profile their own cutting tools to custom geometries. Made from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank offers strong heat resistance and wear resistance, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and demanding machining operations. The blank measures 0.25 inches wide by 0.25 inches high with a 6-inch overall length and a round end shape, giving the user ample material to dress and finish to the required profile.

This tool bit blank is used in metalworking and machining environments where standard off-the-shelf insert tooling does not meet the required geometry or clearance angles. Typical applications include lathe tooling, boring bars, and form tool fabrication in job shop and production machining settings. It is appropriate for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials depending on the grind applied by the end user.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel grade for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Round end shape allows flexible custom grinding to required profiles
• 0.25 inches x 0.25 inches cross-section fits standard tool holders and holders of that bore size
• 6-inch overall length provides sufficient stock for multiple regrinds or longer tool projections
• Solid cobalt construction throughout the blank for consistent hardness across the grind

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tool bit blank for use in standard 0.25-inch bore lathe tool holders and similar toolholding setups in metalworking and machining applications.

Installation Notes

Grinding and shaping of tool bit blanks should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician using appropriate bench or surface grinders with suitable wheels rated for high-speed steel. Eye protection and proper ventilation are required during grinding. Secure the finished tool bit firmly in the tool holder before initiating any cutting operation, and verify tool overhang and geometry before running the machine.
