Value Collection 363-7050 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7050 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and machining centers. Ground from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, this blade delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 tooling, making it a reliable choice for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. At 5 inches in overall length, 1/8 inch wide, and 3/4 inch high, it fits standard blade-style toolholders used in production and job-shop turning applications. The bright finish indicates an uncoated, as-ground surface ready for immediate use. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary installers.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in production turning environments where consistent part-off performance is required. The 1/8 inch width minimizes material loss at the cut, which is especially valuable when working with expensive bar stock. The M35 cobalt composition handles elevated cutting temperatures without the edge softening common in standard high-speed steel blades, making it appropriate for stainless steels, nickel alloys, and other tough materials. It is sized for use in shops running manual engine lathes as well as CNC turning centers equipped with blade-style parting toolholders.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2
• Parallel blade style for straightforward mounting in compatible blade-type toolholders
• 1/8 inch width reduces kerf loss on high-value bar stock
• Bright, as-ground finish — no coating removal required before use
• 5 inch overall length provides reach for larger-diameter workpieces
• Industry Standard Number P3W for cross-reference with compatible toolholder systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in blade-style parting and cutoff toolholders that accept a 1/8 inch wide by 3/4 inch high parallel blade. Industry Standard Number P3W can be used to cross-reference compatible toolholder makes and models.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool setup technicians. Secure the blade firmly in the toolholder to the recommended clamping depth before engaging the workpiece. Ensure the cutting edge is set on center height before beginning any parting operation. Never run a cutoff blade with excessive overhang beyond the toolholder, as this increases the risk of blade deflection or breakage under load.
