Value Collection 360-0067 Tool Bit Blank 3/8 in M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 360-0067 is a square-profile tool bit blank manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a ground finish. Bit blanks are unformed cutting tool stock that machinists grind to custom profiles for use in lathes, shapers, and other metal-cutting machines. This blank measures 3/8 inches wide by 3/8 inches high with a 3-inch overall length. The M2 grade steel provides good wear resistance and toughness across a range of cutting applications. The ground finish ensures dimensional accuracy and a consistent surface for precise custom grinding.

This tool bit blank is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where custom-ground lathe tools are required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use blanks like this to create single-point turning tools, boring tools, parting tools, and other custom profiles. The square cross-section and 3-inch length are among the most common stock sizes for general-purpose lathe work in both production and job-shop settings.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground to shape by a qualified machinist or toolmaker before use — do not use an unground blank as a cutting tool. Secure the blank in a tool holder or grinding fixture before shaping. Follow standard shop safety practices when grinding, including the use of eye protection and a properly dressed grinding wheel appropriate for high speed steel. Ensure the workpiece and machine are fully stopped before changing or adjusting tooling.
