Measuring 3\/8 inches wide by 1\/2 inches high with a 4-inch overall length, this blank is manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel. WKE45 cobalt HSS offers elevated heat resistance and edge toughness compared to standard M2 HSS, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and tougher workpiece materials. Machinists grind this blank to a custom cutting geometry before use. It ships as a single piece and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where custom-ground single-point turning tools, boring tools, threading tools, or form tools are required. It fits standard lathe tool holders sized for 3\/8-inch by 1\/2-inch shank stock. Typical applications include custom profile grinding on a bench or surface grinder before mounting in a tool post or boring bar setup. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inches wide by 1\/2 inches high cross section fits common lathe tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length provides material for multiple grinds or extended tool reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular end shape allows full custom geometry grinding by the end user\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually with no minimum order quantity above one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-dimension tool bit blank for use in lathe tool holders and boring bar setups that accept 3\/8-inch by 1\/2-inch HSS blank stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a machinist using a bench grinder or surface grinder before installation in a lathe tool post or holder. Ensure the grinding wheel is rated for high-speed steel and that appropriate eye protection and wheel guards are in place during grinding. Secure the blank firmly in the tool holder and verify tool height relative to the workpiece centerline before taking a cut. Follow your shop safety procedures and any applicable OSHA machining guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 63005198\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557686903090,"sku":"63005198","price":51.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/768056241498d2af50ca3b903ee8a8f1.jpg?v=1786392867","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-63005198-tool-bit-blank-wke45-cobalt-rectangle","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
