Value Collection 363-6065 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6065 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on metal lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright finish, this blade holds a sharp cutting edge through extended machining cycles. It measures 1/8 inch wide, 7/8 inch high, and 6 inches long, fitting standard cutoff blade holders used in production and maintenance machining environments. At 0.19 pounds, it is a lightweight but rigid tool suited for ferrous and non-ferrous stock. Machinists and tool room technicians select this blade for its consistent geometry and predictable chip control during parting operations.

This cutoff blade is used in manual and CNC lathe applications where a parallel blade profile is required. The 1/8 inch width makes it appropriate for narrow parting cuts and thin-wall tube work. It is a common choice in job shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial tool rooms performing high-volume turning operations on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. Industry standard number P5X applies to this blade, making cross-referencing with compatible blade holders straightforward.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style for consistent parting and grooving geometry
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability and edge retention
• Bright finish for dimensional accuracy and reduced surface friction
• 1/8 inch width suitable for narrow parting cuts and thin-wall applications
• Industry standard number P5X for easy holder compatibility cross-referencing
• Lightweight at 0.19 pounds without sacrificing rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for standard cutoff blade holders accepting parallel-style blades with a 1/8 inch width, 7/8 inch height, and 6 inch length per industry standard P5X.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or removing the blade in the holder. Ensure the blade is fully seated and the clamping screws are tightened evenly to prevent blade deflection during the cut. Do not exceed the blade holder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for this blade width.
