Value Collection 363-7030 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7030 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and screw machines. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, it delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS blades. The blade measures 3/32 inches wide, 11/16 inches high, and 5 inches long overall, making it suited for light-to-medium stock removal in ferrous and non-ferrous applications. It carries the P3N industry standard designation. Machinists and tool room technicians install this blade in compatible cutoff blade holders as part of routine turning and parting operations.

This cutoff blade is used in production turning, job shop lathe work, and screw machine operations where consistent parting performance is required. The parallel geometry provides uniform support along the blade height, reducing deflection during the cut. It is appropriate for general-purpose parting on both manual and CNC lathes in residential-shop, industrial, and maintenance machining environments. The M35 cobalt content makes it a practical choice when cutting harder alloys or when extended tool life between changes is a priority.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and longer tool life versus standard HSS
• Parallel blade style provides uniform cross-section and stable support in the holder
• Bright finish allows visual inspection of blade condition and wear patterns
• P3N industry standard number for straightforward cross-referencing with compatible holders
• Compact 3/32-inch width minimizes material loss during parting operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cutoff blade for lathe and screw machine cutoff blade holders accepting the P3N industry standard parallel-style blade profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Secure the blade firmly in a compatible cutoff holder, ensuring the blade projects only as far as necessary for the workpiece diameter to minimize deflection. Power down and lock out the lathe or screw machine before inserting or adjusting the blade. Do not exceed the blade holder manufacturer's recommended projection depth or feed rate for the blade width.
