Value Collection 363-6080 Parallel Cutoff Blade M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-6080 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. Ground from M2 high speed steel with a bright finish, this blade maintains a sharp cutting edge through extended production runs. It measures 0.25 inches wide, 0.875 inches high, and 6 inches long, giving it the reach and rigidity needed for deep cutoff work on most engine lathes. Machinists and toolroom technicians reach for this profile when separating stock or cutting grooves at consistent depths without chatter.

This cutoff blade fits applications in general metalworking, job shops, and production environments where a reliable parting tool is needed for steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The parallel blade style is compatible with standard cutoff blade holders and turret toolposts sized for 0.25 inch wide blades. Industry Standard Number P6 allows cross-referencing with equivalent profiles from other suppliers. Sold individually, it is well suited for both bench stock replenishment and single-tool replacement.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention during high-speed parting cuts
• Parallel blade profile for consistent width from tip to shank, simplifying setup and depth calculations
• Bright finish indicates an uncoated ground surface ready for immediate use
• 0.25 inch width fits standard cutoff blade holders designed for that blade size
• 6 inch overall length provides sufficient reach for deep cutoff passes on medium-sized workpieces
• Industry Standard Number P6 allows direct cross-reference with equivalent tooling profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P6-profile parallel cutoff blade for use with cutoff blade holders and toolposts that accept 0.25 inch wide by 0.875 inch high blades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with lathe tooling setup. Secure the blade fully in the holder with the cutting edge set at the correct center height before taking a cut. Ensure the lathe spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or adjusting the blade. Do not exceed the blade holder manufacturer's recommended clamping torque or overhang limits for this blade height and width.
