Value Collection 361-0155 M2 Hss Tool Bit Blank 5/8x1x7 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 361-0155 is a rectangle ground tool bit blank made from M2 high speed steel. It measures 5/8 inches wide, 1 inch high, and 7 inches overall length. This blank provides a solid, precision-ground starting point for machinists who need to grind custom cutting profiles for turning, boring, threading, or other lathe and shaper operations. M2 high speed steel offers a strong balance of wear resistance, toughness, and red hardness, making it well-suited for general-purpose cutting tool applications across a wide range of workpiece materials. The ground finish ensures consistent dimensional accuracy across the stock.

This tool bit blank is used in manual and CNC machining environments where custom-ground tooling is required. It is appropriate for use in metal lathes, shapers, and planers in job shops, toolrooms, and production machine shops. Machinists grind the blank to the desired rake, relief, and cutting angles based on the material and operation. The 7-inch length provides adequate stock for multiple regrinds over the tool's service life.

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground to shape by a qualified machinist using a bench or tool grinder before use. Secure the workpiece properly and use appropriate wheel guards and eye protection during grinding. Follow shop safety procedures and ensure the tool holder is properly torqued and aligned before cutting. Power down the machine and confirm a full stop before changing or adjusting tooling.
