Seco 03028 Cutoff Blade Parallel WKE45 Cobalt 6 Inches

Product Description

The SECO 03028 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers consistent edge retention and resistance to heat buildup during extended cuts. It measures 6 inches in overall length, 0.75 inches in height, and 0.125 inches in width, making it a compact, rigid profile suited to precision cutoff work in metal-cutting environments. Machinists, toolroom operators, and production turning shops are the primary users of this blade style.

This cutoff blade fits standard blade-holder tooling systems that accept parallel-shank blades. The parallel profile provides uniform clamping contact across the full blade height, which supports stability during deep parting operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is a single-piece blade intended for use in production and job-shop turning applications where repeatable part-off cuts are required. The WKE45 cobalt grade is well suited to materials that generate elevated cutting temperatures, including alloy steels and stainless steels.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style for uniform clamping and rigid tool-holder engagement
• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance
• Bright finish with no coating that alters final ground dimensions
• 0.125 inches width for narrow kerf and material savings on parting cuts
• 0.75 inches blade height provides depth capacity for typical bar stock diameters
• 6 inches overall length fits standard parallel blade holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for parallel-style cutoff blade holders used in metalworking lathe and turning center applications.

Installation Notes

Cutoff blades are installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom professionals. Power down and lock out the machine before removing or seating the blade in the holder. Ensure the clamping screws are torqued evenly to secure the blade without distortion. Inspect the blade seating surface and holder slot for chips or debris before installation to maintain proper blade alignment.
