Manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 0.25 inches wide by 0.5 inches high by 4 inches in overall length. It provides the raw stock machinists and tool grinders need to profile, grind, and finish a cutting tool to a specific geometry. The WKE45 cobalt grade delivers elevated red hardness and wear resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it suitable for demanding cutting applications on tough or abrasive workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where operators grind their own single-point lathe tools, form tools, or special-profile cutters. It is appropriate for use on manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and boring applications where a custom-ground tool geometry is required. The rectangular cross-section is a standard shape compatible with most tool holders and grinding setups used in general metalworking and precision machining operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt high-speed steel grade provides increased red hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangular cross-section measures 0.25 inches wide by 0.5 inches high for straightforward clamping in standard tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inches overall length gives sufficient stock for grinding to final tool geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnground blank format allows full custom profiling by the end user\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or shop-stock blank suitable for grinding into single-point lathe tools, boring tools, or form tools compatible with standard tool holders accepting a 0.25 inch by 0.5 inch rectangular shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrinding of this blank should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool grinder using appropriate wheel grades for cobalt high-speed steel. Secure the blank firmly in a tool grinding fixture or surface grinder vise before beginning any material removal. Use proper eye protection and grinding guards per applicable shop safety standards. Allow the blank to cool adequately during grinding to avoid drawing the temper of the cobalt steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: WKE45\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63005182\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564027773234,"sku":"63005182","price":33.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bb57407a73b277c72ed7188124a34460.jpg?v=1786509155","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-63005182-tool-bit-blank-wke45-cobalt-rectangle","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
