Value Collection 363-7085 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 363-7085 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for precision parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and turning centers. Constructed from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade offers enhanced heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 tooling. It measures 1/8 inch wide, 1-1/8 inches high, and 6-1/2 inches long, making it suitable for moderate-depth cutoff work. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this blade into compatible cutoff toolholders for straight, accurate parting cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

This cutoff blade is used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where reliable parting performance is required. The parallel blade style ensures consistent seating in standard cutoff toolholders. The M35 cobalt composition makes it a practical choice when cutting harder alloys, stainless steels, or materials that generate elevated cutting temperatures. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both manual and CNC turning operations.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for superior heat and wear resistance
• Bright finish for dimensional accuracy and easy inspection
• Parallel blade style for consistent, stable seating in standard toolholders
• 1/8 inch width supports clean, narrow kerf parting cuts
• 6-1/2 inch overall length accommodates moderate cutoff depth requirements
• Industry Standard Number P8X for cross-reference with compatible toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental cutoff blade for standard parallel-style cutoff toolholders that accept a 1/8 inch wide by 1-1/8 inch high blade profile; verify toolholder slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Cutoff blades are installed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or adjusting the blade in the toolholder. Ensure the blade is fully and evenly clamped with no overhang beyond what the cut depth requires, as excessive extension reduces rigidity and increases chatter risk. Inspect the blade for chips or cracks before each use and replace if the cutting edge shows damage.
