It measures 0.5 inches wide, 0.75 inches high, and 5 inches in overall length. Tool bit blanks are unformed cutting tool stock used by machinists and tool grinders to create custom lathe tools, boring bars, form tools, and other single-point cutting tools. The M2 grade high speed steel delivers strong wear resistance and toughness at elevated temperatures, making it a reliable starting material for general-purpose metal cutting applications. This blank ships ground to consistent dimensions for accurate tool-room use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blank is suited for use in manual and CNC lathe tooling setups, tool-and-die shops, and machine shops where custom cutting tools are ground to specific profiles. It is an appropriate choice for fabricating turning, facing, threading, and parting tools from raw stock. Machinists working on ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find the M2 grade suitable for a wide range of cutting operations. The rectangular cross-section fits standard tool holders designed for 1\/2 inch by 3\/4 inch shank blanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for strong wear resistance and heat tolerance during grinding and cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround finish on all faces provides consistent, accurate dimensions for precise tool-room use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangle cross-section at 0.5 inches wide by 0.75 inches high fits standard tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inch overall length offers sufficient stock for grinding multiple tool profiles or resharpening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece packaging allows individual purchase without minimum quantity commitments beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket blank for use in standard tool holders accepting 1\/2 inch by 3\/4 inch rectangular high speed steel bit stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks require grinding to the desired cutting geometry before use and should be shaped by a qualified machinist or tool grinder using appropriate wheel types for high speed steel. Always wear eye protection and use proper grinding rest support when profiling the blank. Secure the finished tool in a rigid tool holder and verify clearance angles before engaging the workpiece. Do not use an unground blank as a cutting tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\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\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\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: 361-0117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704780554546,"sku":"361-0117","price":99.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f943bf3dfc3ed6e36e775fdbbd22731f.jpg?v=1788424965","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-361-0117-m2-hss-tool-bit-blank-1-2x3-4x5","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
