Seco 02301 Tool Bit Blank WKE45 Cobalt Round 3mm

Product Description

The SECO 02301 is a solid cobalt tool bit blank intended for use as raw stock in custom tool grinding and cutting insert fabrication. Manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank offers high heat resistance and edge retention suited to demanding metal-cutting applications. The blank measures 3 mm in width, 3 mm in height, and 100 mm in overall length with a round end shape. It ships in single-piece quantity and is designed for use by toolroom machinists, grinding shops, and precision fabricators who require consistent material stock for producing custom-profiled cutting tools.

This blank is appropriate for toolroom and production grinding environments where a standardized cobalt blank is needed as starting stock. It suits applications in conventional and CNC grinding setups where the operator profiles the blank to a specific tool geometry. The 3 mm cross-section and 100 mm length make it suitable for producing small-diameter form tools, boring tools, and similar precision cutting tools used in ferrous and non-ferrous machining operations.

Key Features

• WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Round end shape for versatile grinding to custom profiles
• 3 mm width by 3 mm height cross-section for small-diameter tooling applications
• 100 mm overall length provides adequate stock for multiple regrind cycles
• Consistent material grade ensures predictable tool performance after grinding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard cobalt tool bit blank suitable for use in toolroom grinding operations requiring WKE45-grade high-speed steel stock in a 3 mm round cross-section profile.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified toolroom machinist or grinding technician using surface, cylindrical, or tool-and-cutter grinding equipment. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and grinding guards, must be used during all grinding operations. Ensure the grinding wheel is rated for use with cobalt high-speed steel materials before starting. Finished tools should be inspected for geometry and surface finish before use in production cutting operations.
