Measuring 5\/16 inches wide by 5\/16 inches high with an overall length of 2.5 inches, this blank provides consistent stock that can be ground to a specific cutting geometry on a bench or surface grinder. The M2 grade HSS offers a reliable balance of hardness, wear resistance, and toughness suitable for general-purpose metal cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where custom-ground cutting tools are required. It is appropriate for grinding single-point turning tools, threading tools, boring tools, or form tools for use on manual lathes and shapers. The square cross-section and ground finish allow machinists to establish accurate relief and rake angles quickly when dressed on a tool grinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for strong wear resistance in general-purpose metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section at 5\/16 inches wide by 5\/16 inches high for consistent geometry when grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround finish provides accurate stock dimensions straight out of the package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch overall length gives sufficient material for grinding multiple tool profiles over the life of the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece packaging suitable for toolroom use or individual replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tool bit blank for use in tool holders and grinder fixtures accepting 5\/16-inch square shank blanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to shape by a qualified machinist or toolmaker using a bench grinder or surface grinder equipped with an appropriate abrasive wheel rated for high speed steel. Wear eye protection and use a tool rest when grinding. Dress the grinding wheel before use to ensure a flat, true surface. Allow the blank to cool between grinding passes to prevent overheating and loss of hardness at the cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Or Unground\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.004 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 360-0049\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689535602994,"sku":"360-0049","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ef7d526f8179e54d274eba8a4bf53dfd.jpg?v=1788260947","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-360-0049-tool-bit-blank-m2-hss-square","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
