Value Collection 363-7015 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7015 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for precision parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and screw machines. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade offers improved heat resistance and wear life compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. It measures 5/64 inches wide, 1/2 inch high, and 4-1/2 inches long, making it well suited for tight-clearance cutoff work where dimensional accuracy matters. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this blade into compatible cutoff blade holders for production and maintenance turning applications.

This cutoff blade is used in shop environments where consistent parting cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous stock are required. Its parallel geometry maintains a uniform width from tip to shank, reducing the risk of blade binding during the cut. Typical applications include production machining, tool rooms, and maintenance shops running manual or CNC lathes that accept standard blade-style cutoff tooling. The M35 cobalt alloy makes it a preferred choice when cutting harder alloy steels or stainless where standard HSS blades wear prematurely.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style provides uniform width for consistent parting cuts
• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for enhanced heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• Bright finish on all ground surfaces
• Compact 4-1/2 inch overall length fits standard cutoff blade holders
• Industry Standard Number P2N for cross-reference and holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P2N-style parallel cutoff blade for use in compatible blade-style cutoff holders used on metalworking lathes and screw machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing the blade from the holder. Ensure the blade is seated squarely and clamped securely to the manufacturer specifications of the holder before resuming operation. Do not exceed the recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for the blade width, as thin cutoff blades are subject to deflection and breakage under excessive lateral load.
