Value Collection 363-7045 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7045 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and similar machine tools. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, this blade delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. The blade measures 3/16 inches wide, 11/16 inches high, and 5 inches in overall length. A bright finish indicates an uncoated, precision-ground surface ready for immediate use. Machinists and toolroom operators rely on this geometry for consistent chip flow and repeatable depth-of-cut performance in production and job-shop environments.

This cutoff blade is intended for use in standard parting blade toolholders that accept a 3/16-inch wide by 11/16-inch high parallel shank. Typical applications include parting off bar stock, grooving, and recessing operations on manual or CNC lathes. The parallel blade style provides uniform clamping across the full height of the blade, ensuring rigid setup in the holder. It carries Industry Standard Number T5S, which aids in cross-referencing with compatible toolholder systems used in general metalworking shops.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for superior heat resistance and extended tool life on hard or abrasive materials
• Parallel blade style for consistent clamping and rigid setup in standard parting toolholders
• 3/16 inches wide profile produces narrow kerf to minimize material loss during parting operations
• Bright finish indicates precision-ground, uncoated surface ready for use out of the package
• Industry Standard Number T5S for straightforward toolholder compatibility cross-reference
• Compact 5-inch overall length suits bench lathes and mid-size CNC turning centers

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard parting blade toolholders that accept a 3/16-inch wide by 11/16-inch high parallel-style blade. Industry Standard Number T5S can be used to verify fitment with compatible holder systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the blade in the toolholder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely across its full height before taking a cut, and verify tool overhang is minimized to reduce chatter. Follow shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting cutting speeds and feeds for cobalt HSS tooling.
