Value Collection 363-6015 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6015 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and similar turning equipment. Ground from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers consistent edge retention and heat resistance during interrupted cuts. It measures 5/64 inches wide, 1/2 inch high, and 4-1/2 inches long, making it suited for standard cutoff toolholders in production and maintenance machine shop environments. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users. The M2 grade provides a reliable balance of hardness and toughness for general-purpose parting work on steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

This cutoff blade is used in manual and CNC lathe setups for parting off workpieces and grooving operations. The parallel blade style fits standard cutoff blade holders and is a common choice for general production machining, maintenance shops, and apprentice training environments. Its bright finish indicates an uncoated, ground surface ready for use without additional preparation. Industry standard number P2N identifies the blade geometry for cross-reference purposes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. The lathe or turning center must be fully powered down and the spindle locked before changing or seating cutoff blades in the toolholder. Ensure the blade is properly clamped and seated square to prevent deflection or blade breakage during the cut. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable machine guarding standards when operating parting tools.
