Value Collection 361-0125 M2 Hss Tool Bit Blank 1/2x1x7 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 361-0125 is a rectangle ground tool bit blank made from M2 high speed steel, designed for use in manual and CNC machining operations where a custom cutting tool profile is required. Measuring 0.5 inches wide, 1 inch high, and 7 inches in overall length, this blank is supplied in a ground finish, giving machinists a dimensionally consistent starting point before grinding to a final cutting geometry. M2 HSS offers a strong balance of wear resistance, toughness, and heat resistance, making it a reliable material choice for general-purpose tool grinding across a wide range of shop applications.

This tool bit blank is used in metalworking, toolroom, and production environments where machinists grind their own lathe tools, boring bars, fly cutters, or specialty form tools. The rectangle cross-section suits single-point turning and threading tool applications. It is appropriate for use in both job shop and maintenance machining contexts, and is commonly stocked by toolroom technicians and machinists who require raw blank stock to produce custom ground tools on a bench or surface grinder.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for strong wear resistance and toughness under heat
• Ground finish provides dimensional consistency for precise tool grinding
• Rectangle cross-section — 0.5 inches wide by 1 inch high — suits single-point lathe tooling
• 7-inch overall length gives ample stock for multiple grinds or longer tool holders
• General-purpose blank compatible with bench grinder and surface grinder shaping workflows

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose M2 high speed steel tool bit blank for use in toolroom and machining applications requiring a ground rectangle-profile HSS blank.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist using a bench grinder or surface grinder with appropriate HSS-rated grinding wheels. Secure the blank firmly in a tool holder or vise during grinding operations and wear proper eye protection. Follow shop safety protocols for grinding sparks and heat buildup. Do not use the blank unground as a cutting tool.
