Value Collection 397-7028 Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt 5 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 397-7028 is a double-beveled cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on metal lathes and CNC turning centers. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, this blade delivers greater heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling, making it well suited for harder ferrous materials and interrupted cuts. The blade measures 5 inches in overall length, 1/8 inch wide, and 11/16 inch high. The bright finish indicates an uncoated, ground surface ready for immediate use. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this style of blade for its precision geometry and repeatable cutting performance.

This cutoff blade is used in metalworking environments where parting off workpieces or cutting narrow grooves is required. It fits standard blade-type cutoff toolholders commonly found in manual engine lathes and automated turning cells in job shop, maintenance, and production settings. The double-bevel grind promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting force, which is useful when working with steel, stainless, and other tough alloys. The 1/8-inch width produces a narrow kerf, minimizing material loss during parting operations.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat resistance over standard HSS grades
• Double-beveled geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting forces
• 1/8-inch blade width minimizes kerf and material waste during parting
• Bright ground finish provides a precise, ready-to-use cutting edge
• 5-inch overall length fits a wide range of standard cutoff toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for standard blade-type cutoff toolholders that accept a 1/8-inch wide by 11/16-inch high blade profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before changing tooling. Ensure the blade is seated squarely and clamped securely in the toolholder to prevent deflection or chatter during the cut. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended overhang or depth-of-cut guidelines for this blade width.
