Value Collection 362-0031 Tool Bit Blank M2 Hss Round

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 362-0031 is a round tool bit blank ground from M2 high speed steel. It measures 1/8 inch in diameter, 1/8 inch in height, and 2-3/4 inches overall length. Tool bit blanks serve as raw stock for machinists and toolmakers who grind custom cutting profiles to suit specific lathe, boring, or shaping operations. M2 high speed steel offers a reliable balance of hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making it a standard material for general-purpose tooling. This blank arrives ground for dimensional accuracy and is ready for further profile grinding on a bench or tool grinder.

This bit blank is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade school environments where custom-ground tooling is required. It supports applications on manual lathes and mill setups where standard insert tooling is not practical. Machinists working on small-diameter or detail work will find the 1/8 inch cross section appropriate for fine boring bars, engraving tools, and similar custom forms. Sold individually, it fits low-quantity toolroom needs without requiring bulk purchase.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Tool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist or toolmaker using a bench grinder or surface grinder with an appropriate wheel. Wear eye protection and use a tool rest when grinding. Ensure the grinder is properly dressed and rated for high speed steel before use. Verify the finished tool geometry against the intended cutting application before mounting in a tool holder.
