Value Collection 360-0113 Square Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 360-0113 is a square-profile cutoff blade machined from M2 high-speed steel (HSS), designed for parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and similar turning equipment. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide, 0.5 inches high, and 6 inches long, providing a rigid cross-section suited for narrow cut-off work on ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The M2 HSS composition delivers a strong balance of wear resistance and toughness for general-purpose shop use. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this grade for interrupted cuts and high-speed parting where consistent edge retention is required. The uncoated finish allows for resharpening as needed.

This cutoff blade is intended for use in standard blade-style parting toolholders and cutoff blade holders commonly found on manual engine lathes and turret lathes. It suits general metalworking applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The square cross-section is compatible with toolholders specifying a 0.5 inch wide by 0.5 inch high blade seat. Typical applications include facing, grooving, and parting off round bar, tube, and shaft stock in both production and repair contexts.

Key Features

• Square blade profile with 0.5 inch width and 0.5 inch height for consistent toolholder fit
• M2 high-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness
• 6 inch overall length accommodates standard blade-style parting toolholders
• Uncoated finish allows field resharpening to restore cutting edge geometry
• Suitable for parting, grooving, and facing operations on a range of metals

Compatibility

Designed for use in blade-style parting toolholders and cutoff holders that accept a square cross-section blade measuring 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches high.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or qualified lathe operator. Secure the blade in the toolholder so the cutting edge is on the lathe centerline before tightening clamping screws. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before setting or adjusting the blade. Ensure the blade does not extend beyond the minimum recommended overhang for the diameter being cut to prevent chatter and deflection.
