Value Collection 360-0035 Square Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 360-0035 is a square-profile cutoff blade machined from M2 high speed steel. Measuring 0.25 inches wide, 0.25 inches high, and 4 inches long, it is sized for parting and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. M2 HSS offers a balanced combination of wear resistance and toughness, making it a reliable choice for interrupted cuts and general turning work on steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The uncoated finish allows for straightforward resharpening when the cutting edge dulls. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians rely on square cutoff blades of this profile for consistent, repeatable parting performance.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in standard parting blade holders that accept a 0.25-inch square shank. It fits manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers in production and job-shop environments. The 4-inch length provides adequate blade extension for moderate-depth parting applications. It is appropriate for light to medium-duty stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where an uncoated HSS edge is preferred over carbide inserts.

Key Features

• Square profile: 0.25 inches wide by 0.25 inches high for direct fit in standard parting blade holders
• M2 high speed steel construction for wear resistance and toughness across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-inch overall length supports moderate parting depth on engine and CNC lathes
• Uncoated finish allows the blade to be resharpened with standard HSS grinding wheels
• Single-piece construction with no inserts or fasteners to manage during setup

Compatibility

Designed for use in parting blade tool holders that accept a 0.25-inch square blade shank, common on manual engine lathes and CNC turning centers in general machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or adjusting the blade in the tool holder. Secure the blade firmly in the holder to the minimum recommended overhang for the depth of cut. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or wear before each use and regrind as needed on a suitable HSS grinding wheel.
