Seco 63002112 Tool Bit Blank WKE45 Cobalt Rectangle

Product Description

The SECO 63002112 is a rectangular cobalt tool bit blank designed for use in custom toolgrinding and tool-making applications in metalworking shops and production environments. Manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank provides the hardness and wear resistance required for cutting and forming operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 4 mm wide by 10 mm high with a 100 mm overall length, giving machinists and toolmakers a solid starting geometry to grind to a finished cutting tool profile. Installation or modification of this blank is typically performed by skilled machinists or tool-and-die specialists.

This tool bit blank is suited for use in manual lathes, shapers, and other machine tool setups where a custom ground cutting tool is required. The rectangular cross-section allows for grinding of standard turning, boring, and threading tool profiles. It is appropriate for light to medium cutting operations where cobalt-grade tooling is specified over standard high-speed steel. Shops performing in-house tool grinding will find this blank suitable as raw stock for producing single-point cutting tools to custom geometries.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated hardness and heat resistance
• Rectangular cross-section simplifies grinding to standard single-point tool profiles
• 4 mm width by 10 mm height geometry provides a compact blank for light-duty tooling applications
• 100 mm overall length provides adequate stock for grinding and re-grinding over the tool life
• Consistent material grade supports repeatable performance across ground tool profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cobalt tool bit blank suitable for use in standard tool holders and grinding setups that accept rectangular-section blanks of 4 mm width by 10 mm height.

Installation Notes

Grinding of tool bit blanks should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate bench or surface grinders equipped for high-speed steel and cobalt materials. Use coolant where required to prevent overheating the blank during grinding, which can reduce hardness at the cutting edge. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when grinding. No welding, brazing, or heat treatment should be applied without knowledge of the alloy specifications.
