Value Collection 363-6005 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6005 is a parallel-style cutoff blade made from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish. It measures 0.04 inches wide, 0.5 inches high, and 3.5 inches long, providing a narrow kerf and consistent performance in parting and cutoff operations on manual and CNC lathes. The M2 grade steel delivers good wear resistance and toughness for general-purpose cutoff work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This blade is suited for machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or maintenance environments where repeatable parting cuts are required.

The 363-6005 parallel cutoff blade is used in lathe parting operations across job shops, maintenance facilities, and production machine shops. The parallel blade style maintains consistent width from tip to shank, making it straightforward to index and replace in standard cutoff blade holders. It is appropriate for turning centers handling bar stock, tubing, and similar round or cylindrical workpieces where a clean, square parting cut is needed.

Key Features

• Parallel blade profile maintains consistent 0.04-inch width along full length
• M2 high-speed steel construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• Bright finish for easy visual inspection of blade condition
• Industry standard number P1N for cross-reference with compatible holders
• Compact 3.5-inch overall length suits standard lathe tooling setups
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and tool change

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P1N-designation parallel cutoff blade compatible with lathe cutoff blade holders accepting this industry-standard profile. Verify holder slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Cutoff blades are installed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before changing or indexing the blade. Secure the blade firmly in the holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping procedure to prevent blade walk or deflection during the cut. Inspect the blade for chipping or wear before each use and replace if the cutting edge is compromised.
