Seco 02164 Tool Bit Blank Cobalt WKE45 Round 20mm

Product Description

The SECO 02164 is a solid cobalt tool bit blank designed for machinists and toolroom professionals who grind or form custom cutting tools to specific geometries. Manufactured from WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 20 mm (0.787 inches) wide, 20 mm (0.787 inches) high, and 200 mm (7.874 inches) in overall length, with a round end shape. WKE45 grade cobalt HSS offers elevated heat resistance and wear performance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for demanding cutting applications where tool life is critical.

Tool bit blanks of this type are used in precision machining environments including job shops, maintenance facilities, and toolroom operations. The round cross-section and generous overall length allow the blank to be precision-ground into lathe tools, boring bars, form tools, or other custom single-point cutting tools. These blanks are a standard stock item for shops that prefer to grind their own tooling to achieve exact rake angles, clearances, and profiles not available in off-the-shelf tooling.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• Round end shape for versatile grinding into custom tool profiles
• 20 mm x 20 mm cross-section provides substantial material stock for multiple grinds
• 200 mm overall length offers ample blank length for toolroom applications
• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cobalt HSS tool bit blank suitable for use in manual and CNC toolroom grinding applications where a round, WKE45-grade blank of this cross-section is required.

Installation Notes

Grinding of tool bit blanks should be performed by qualified machinists or tool grinders using appropriate bench or surface grinders equipped with wheels rated for high-speed steel. Eye protection and proper wheel guards must be used during all grinding operations. Ensure the grinder is at a full stop before adjusting work rests or changing wheels. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA guidelines for abrasive wheel machinery.
