Value Collection 363-7080 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7080 is a parallel-style cutoff blade engineered for precision parting and grooving operations on lathes and similar machine tools. Ground from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, this blade delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 tooling, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. The bright finish indicates an uncoated, ground surface ready for immediate use. At 6 inches in overall length, 0.25 inches wide, and 0.875 inches high, it fits a range of standard cutoff blade holders designed for those dimensions.

This blade is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metal turning operations in job shop, production machining, and maintenance environments. It is commonly used in manual and CNC lathe applications where a rigid, narrow parting blade is required. The parallel geometry maintains consistent blade height along its length, allowing the blade to be advanced in the holder as the cutting edge wears down, extending total service life per blade.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for increased red hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS
• Parallel blade style allows incremental advancement in holder as edge wears
• Bright ground finish provides a precise, ready-to-use cutting edge
• 0.25 inches blade width produces a narrow kerf, minimizing material loss during parting
• 6 inches overall length accommodates a wide range of cutoff blade holder sizes
• Industry Standard Number P6 for cross-reference with compatible holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard cutoff blade holders that accept a parallel blade measuring 0.25 inches wide by 0.875 inches high, with an overall length of 6 inches. Verify holder slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool and die technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or adjusting the blade in the holder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and perpendicular to the workpiece centerline to prevent blade deflection or breakage during the cut. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements when operating cutoff tooling.
