Value Collection 363-7025 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7025 is a parallel-style cutoff blade engineered for precision parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers enhanced heat resistance and edge retention compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. It measures 1/8 inch wide, 1/2 inch high, and 4-1/2 inches long, making it a direct-fit option for standard cutoff blade holders used in production and job-shop turning applications. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this blade for efficient stock parting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in manual and CNC lathes performing repetitive parting, slotting, and light grooving operations. The parallel blade style provides consistent blade-holder clamping across the full 4-1/2 inch length, making it appropriate for both production turning and general-purpose shop use. It corresponds to industry standard number P3S, allowing straightforward cross-referencing to compatible blade holders from major tooling manufacturers. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working in metal fabrication and repair environments.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• Bright finish for accurate visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Parallel blade style ensures full-contact clamping in compatible blade holders
• 1/8 inch width supports clean, narrow parting cuts that minimize material loss
• Industry standard number P3S enables easy cross-referencing to holder compatibility
• 4-1/2 inch overall length fits a wide range of standard cutoff blade holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit cutoff blade for parallel-style blade holders accepting a 1/8 inch wide by 1/2 inch high blade profile. Cross-references to industry standard number P3S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before inserting or adjusting the blade in its holder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and seated flush in the holder to prevent lateral deflection during the cut. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and replace when chipping or dulling is evident to avoid tool failure or workpiece damage.
