Value Collection 363-6035 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6035 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers reliable hardness and wear resistance for standard parting work in job shop and production environments. It measures 1/8 inch wide, 11/16 inch high, and 5 inches long, conforming to Industry Standard Number P3. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators install this blade type in blade-style parting toolholders. The M2 grade provides good toughness and edge retention across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in manual engine lathes, toolroom lathes, and CNC turning centers equipped with a compatible blade-style or dovetail parting toolholder. Typical applications include bar stock parting, grooving, and face grooving on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. It is appropriate for both light production and maintenance machining environments where a standard P3-size parallel cutoff blade is required. The 5-inch length provides adequate overhang clearance for most standard parting operations.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style conforms to Industry Standard Number P3 for broad toolholder compatibility
• M2 high-speed steel construction provides hardness, toughness, and wear resistance
• Bright finish allows visual inspection of the blade surface prior to installation
• 1/8 inch width minimizes material loss at the cut and reduces parting forces
• 5-inch overall length accommodates standard parting toolholder setups
• Sold individually, allowing single-blade replacement without purchasing a set

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P3-style parallel cutoff blade for use in blade-style parting toolholders that accept a 1/8 inch wide by 11/16 inch high blade profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before inserting or adjusting the blade in the toolholder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and seated squarely in the toolholder before resuming operation. Follow shop safety procedures and applicable machine guarding requirements when performing parting operations.
