Value Collection 363-6020 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6020 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes. Manufactured from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers consistent edge retention and heat resistance during cut-off work. It measures 3/32 inches wide, 1/2 inch high, and 4-1/2 inches long, fitting standard cutoff blade holders used in toolroom and production environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this style of blade when performing repetitive parting cuts on bar stock and turned workpieces.

This cutoff blade suits general metalworking applications in both job shop and production machining settings. The parallel blade profile provides uniform width from tip to shank, making it straightforward to regrind and maintain a consistent cutting edge. It is appropriate for use on manual engine lathes and turret lathes handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The industry standard number P2 designation confirms compatibility with conventional cutoff blade toolholders that accept this blade size and profile.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style for consistent width and easy regrinding
• M2 high-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention
• Bright finish with no coating to alter critical dimensions
• Industry standard P2 designation for broad toolholder compatibility
• Compact 4-1/2 inch length suited to standard cutoff blade holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for standard cutoff blade toolholders accepting a P2-designation parallel blade measuring 3/32 inches wide by 1/2 inch high by 4-1/2 inches long.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using standard toolholder clamping hardware; ensure the lathe is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing or seating the blade. Secure the blade firmly in the holder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque for that holder, and verify blade extension does not exceed the minimum necessary for the cut depth. Inspect the cutting edge before use and regrind or replace if chipping or wear is present.
