Value Collection 397-7056 Cutoff Blade 7 in M2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 397-7056 is a double-beveled cutoff blade machined from M2 high speed steel with a bright finish. It measures 7 inches in overall length, 1/8 inch in width, and 7/8 inch in height. M2 high speed steel delivers strong wear resistance and edge retention during cutoff and parting operations on lathes and similar machine tools. The bright finish indicates no additional coating or heat treatment beyond the base material. This blade is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals who require a reliable, standard-geometry parting blade for general-purpose metalworking applications.

This cutoff blade is designed for use in parting and grooving operations on manual or CNC lathes. It fits standard blade-style tool holders that accept a 1/8-inch-wide by 7/8-inch-high blade profile. Typical applications include parting off stock, cutting grooves, and undercutting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The double-bevel geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting forces during the parting operation. Machinists working in job shops, production environments, and maintenance facilities will find this a direct-fit replacement for worn or broken parting blades of the same profile.

Key Features

• Double-beveled blade geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting forces
• M2 high speed steel construction provides strong wear resistance and edge retention
• Bright finish — no additional coating, ready for use or custom grinding
• 1/8-inch blade width suits standard parting and grooving operations
• 7-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most lathe tool holder setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement cutoff blade for tool holders accepting a 1/8-inch-wide by 7/8-inch-high blade profile on manual and CNC lathes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine is powered down and brought to a complete stop before changing any cutting tools. Secure the blade firmly in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer's clamping specifications to prevent movement during the cut. Inspect the blade edge before use and discard any blade showing cracks, chips, or visible deformation.
