Value Collection 363-7055 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7055 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on metal lathes and screw machines. Ground from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, this blade holds cutting-edge hardness and heat resistance better than standard M2 HSS tooling, making it a reliable choice for interrupted cuts, tough alloys, and higher-speed applications. The blade measures 5/32 inches wide, 3/4 inches high, and 5 inches long overall, with a bright finish indicating a non-coated, precision-ground surface ready for immediate use. Machinists and tool-room professionals install this type of blade into compatible blade-style cutoff toolholders.

This cutoff blade is suited for use in manual and CNC lathe applications where a parallel blade profile is required. The 5/32-inch width produces a narrow kerf, reducing material loss on parting operations. Its 3/4-inch height provides adequate rigidity and depth capacity for typical bar stock parting. The P4W industry standard number identifies this blade within standard cutoff toolholder systems that accept parallel-profile inserts of this width class. It is appropriate for job-shop, production, and maintenance machining environments.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• Parallel blade style for use in standard P4W-compatible cutoff toolholders
• 5/32-inch blade width minimizes kerf and material waste during parting
• Bright finish indicates precision-ground, ready-to-use cutting surface
• 5 inches overall length suits a wide range of lathe cutoff holder depths
• Industry Standard Number P4W for straightforward toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for parallel cutoff blade applications requiring the P4W industry standard profile in 5/32-inch width. Fits toolholders that accept this blade style and width class.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before removing or seating the blade in the cutoff toolholder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and set at the correct height relative to the workpiece centerline before resuming operation. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended overhang for the blade height used.
