Measuring 5\/8 inch wide by 5\/8 inch high with a 4-1\/2 inch overall length, this square-profile blank provides the raw stock needed to create lathe bits, boring tools, fly cutters, and other single-point cutting tools. M2 grade high speed steel offers a reliable balance of red hardness, wear resistance, and toughness for general-purpose metal cutting operations. The blank arrives ground to consistent dimensions, reducing setup time before profile grinding begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is suited for use in manual and CNC lathes, milling setups, and tool-and-die applications across job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. Machinists select square blanks of this size for medium-duty turning, threading, and form tool applications where a custom grind is required to match a specific part geometry or cutting condition. The ground finish ensures dimensional accuracy right out of the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for reliable hardness and wear resistance in general metal cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section at 5\/8 inch wide by 5\/8 inch high suits medium-duty lathe and milling tool applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-1\/2 inch overall length provides adequate stock for grinding multiple tool profiles over the life of the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround finish ensures consistent dimensional accuracy for precise tool geometry work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, allowing purchase of exact quantities needed for the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-profile replacement or stock blank for tool holders and lathe tool posts that accept 5\/8 inch square shank cutting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to final cutting geometry by a qualified machinist using a bench or pedestal grinder equipped with appropriate grinding wheels for high speed steel. Always wear eye protection and follow shop safety procedures during grinding operations. Secure the blank firmly in a tool holder or vise before use to prevent movement during cutting. Inspect the finished tool edge for cracks or chips before mounting in any machine tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/2 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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.62 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: 360-0128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704347230514,"sku":"360-0128","price":50.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7f39f92d5f3918571cc1e0e9fc5f1052.jpg?v=1788422122","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-360-0128-tool-bit-blank-m2-hss-5-8-in-square","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
