Seco 05147 Tool Bit Blank 3/4x3/4x6 Inch WKE45 Cobalt

Product Description

The SECO 05147 is a solid cobalt tool bit blank designed for custom tooling applications in machine shops and production environments. Manufactured from WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel, this blank provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for turning, facing, and form tool fabrication. The blank measures 3/4 inches wide by 3/4 inches high with a 6-inch overall length, giving machinists ample stock to grind and profile to a specific tool geometry. It ships as a single piece and is intended for use by machinists and tooling specialists who require a consistent, high-quality starting blank for precision work.

This tool bit blank is suited for use in manual lathes, turret lathes, and screw machines where operators need to grind a custom cutting profile. The WKE45 cobalt grade offers improved heat resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it a practical choice for harder workpiece materials and heavier cuts. The round end shape allows the blank to be ground to a wide variety of cutting geometries before final use.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated hardness and heat resistance
• 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch cross-section with 6-inch overall length for versatile stock removal during grinding
• Round end shape accommodates a wide range of custom grind profiles
• Consistent material grade ensures repeatable tool performance after grinding
• Sold individually for single-piece procurement flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tool bit blank for use in manual lathes, turret lathes, and screw machines that accept 3/4-inch square tool bit holders and toolposts.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks require grinding to final cutting geometry before use and should be shaped by a qualified machinist using appropriate tool and cutter grinding equipment. Ensure the grinding wheel is rated for cobalt high-speed steel before proceeding. Secure the blank firmly in the vise or grinding fixture throughout the grinding process. Follow applicable shop safety procedures for eye protection and grinding debris containment.
