Seco 63006817 Tool Bit Blank WKE45 Cobalt Rectangle

Product Description

The SECO 63006817 is a solid cobalt tool bit blank ground to a rectangular profile for use in custom tooling applications. Manufactured from WKE45-grade cobalt high-speed steel, this blank measures 3 mm (approximately 0.118 inches) wide, 12 mm (approximately 0.472 inches) high, and 200 mm (approximately 7.874 inches) overall length. It is supplied unground on the cutting end, allowing machinists and tool-and-die professionals to profile and sharpen the cutting geometry to suit a specific operation. Cobalt-grade material provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for demanding cutting conditions.

This tool bit blank is used in metalworking and machining environments where a custom-profiled single-point or form cutting tool is required. Typical applications include lathe tooling, shaper tooling, and specialty boring or threading applications where a standard indexable insert geometry is not available. The rectangular cross-section allows the blank to be seated securely in standard tool holders or grinding fixtures during the profiling process. It is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC turning setups where a ground-to-print tool is needed.

Key Features

• WKE45 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• Rectangular cross-section for stable seating in tool holders and grinding fixtures
• 200 mm overall length provides material for profiling multiple cutting edges over the tool life
• 3 mm width and 12 mm height suit small-bore and precision turning applications
• Supplied as a blank for custom grinding to application-specific cutting geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tool bit blank for use in standard rectangular-pocket tool holders and grinding fixtures accepting a 3 mm x 12 mm cross-section profile.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground and profiled by qualified machinists or tool grinders using surface or tool-and-cutter grinding equipment. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, must be worn during all grinding operations. Ensure the blank is properly secured in the grinding fixture before beginning any material removal. Finished tools should be inspected for geometry and surface condition before installation in a machine tool holder.
