Value Collection 363-6075 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6075 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and cutoff toolholders. Manufactured from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers reliable edge retention and resistance to heat buildup during interrupted cutting passes. It measures 3/16 inches wide, 7/8 inches high, and 6 inches long overall. The M2 grade steel provides a good balance of toughness and wear resistance, making it a practical choice for general-purpose cutoff work on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other common shop materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary installers of this type of blade.

This blade fits standard cutoff toolholders and blade-style parting tool holders that accept parallel blades with a 3/16-inch width and 7/8-inch height profile. It is suited for use on engine lathes and turret lathes in production, job shop, and maintenance machining environments. The 6-inch length provides adequate reach for most cutoff applications on small to medium workpieces. It carries Industry Standard Number P5, which indicates a widely recognized form factor in the tooling industry.

Key Features

• M2 high-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention during cutoff operations
• Parallel blade style for compatibility with standard cutoff toolholders
• Bright finish reduces friction and aids chip flow at the cutting zone
• 3/16-inch width minimizes material loss at the cut
• 6-inch overall length provides reach for small to medium workpiece diameters
• Industry Standard Number P5 for straightforward toolholder cross-referencing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for parallel cutoff blade holders accepting a 3/16-inch wide by 7/8-inch high blade profile.

Installation Notes

This blade is installed and replaced by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing cutoff blades, disengage the lathe and bring the spindle to a complete stop. Secure the blade firmly in the toolholder to the holder manufacturer's specified clamping method to prevent deflection during parting. Inspect the blade seating surface and toolholder slot for chips or burrs before installation to ensure proper blade height alignment.
