Seco 63002115 Tool Bit Blank WKE45 Cobalt Rectangle

Product Description

The SECO 63002115 is a solid cobalt tool bit blank designed for use as raw stock in the fabrication and grinding of custom cutting tools. Made from WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel, this blank features a rectangular profile measuring 6 millimeters wide by 10 millimeters high with an overall length of 200 millimeters. Tool and die makers, machinists, and toolroom technicians use blanks like this to grind single-point lathe tools, form tools, and specialty cutters to exact geometry for specific applications. WKE45 cobalt grade offers elevated hot hardness compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for machining tough or abrasive workpiece materials.

This blank is appropriate for toolroom and production environments where custom ground tooling is required. It is commonly used in general machining, turning, boring, and form-tool applications where a standard off-the-shelf cutting tool geometry is not available. The rectangular cross section allows straightforward clamping in a bench grinder vise or surface grinder magnetic chuck during the grinding process. Supplied as a single blank, it gives the machinist full latitude to grind the desired relief, rake, and nose geometry to match the job at hand.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel grade for superior hot hardness and wear resistance
• Rectangular cross section for stable fixturing during tool grinding
• 200 millimeter overall length provides ample stock for multiple regrind cycles
• 6 millimeter width by 10 millimeter height profile suits small to medium tool applications
• Solid blank stock allows full custom geometry grinding by the end user

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cobalt tool bit blank suitable for use in toolroom applications requiring custom-ground single-point or form cutting tools; no specific machine model compatibility is defined for this product type.

Installation Notes

Grinding of tool bit blanks should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician using appropriate bench, pedestal, or surface grinding equipment. Eye protection and proper wheel guards are required during all grinding operations. Allow the blank to cool adequately during grinding to prevent thermal damage to the cobalt substrate. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines throughout the fabrication process.
