Manufactured from WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 3\/8 inches wide by 3\/4 inches high with a 4-inch overall length and a rectangular cross-section. WKE45 cobalt grade offers elevated heat resistance and hardness retention compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for interrupted cuts, harder workpiece materials, and demanding shop environments. Machinists and toolmakers grind these blanks to a finished cutting geometry on a tool and cutter grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in manual lathe, shaper, and planer operations where a shop-ground single-point tool is preferred over an indexable insert system. The rectangular profile accommodates standard tool holders sized for 3\/8-inch tooling. Typical applications include turning, facing, boring, and threading operations on a variety of metals. The 4-inch overall length provides sufficient stock for initial grinding and allows for resharpening over the life of the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWKE45 cobalt high-speed steel grade for improved hot hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular cross-section compatible with standard 3\/8-inch tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length provides adequate stock for grinding and resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniform blank geometry supports consistent tool angle grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually — one piece per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose tool bit blank for use in standard tool holders and grinding setups that accept 3\/8-inch width rectangular cobalt blanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrinding of tool bit blanks is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using a bench or pedestal tool and cutter grinder. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use properly dressed grinding wheels rated for high-speed steel. Ensure the workpiece is secure against the tool rest before grinding to maintain accurate geometry. Follow applicable shop safety standards and OSHA guidelines when operating grinding equipment.\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: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\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\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: 63005958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557838029106,"sku":"63005958","price":58.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b627e3edc51642c97b50c746cfa3fd6.jpg?v=1786396515","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-63005958-tool-bit-blank-wke45-cobalt-rectangle","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
