Value Collection 397-7064 Cutoff Blade M2 Hss 8 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 397-7064 is a double-beveled cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and similar turning equipment. Manufactured from M2 high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers consistent edge retention and wear resistance under demanding cutting conditions. It measures 8 inches in overall length, 3/16 inches wide, and 1 inch high, making it a standard-profile blade suited for general-purpose cutoff work. Machinists, toolroom operators, and production shop technicians install this type of blade in cutoff blade holders or toolposts. The M2 grade provides a balance of toughness and hardness appropriate for machining steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys.

This cutoff blade is appropriate for use in manual and CNC lathe setups where parting stock, grooving, or slotting operations are performed. The double-bevel geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces the tendency to bind during deep parting cuts. The bright finish indicates an uncoated surface, which is standard for toolroom and job shop applications where the operator may choose to apply their own coatings or use as supplied. This blade is sold individually and is well-suited to low-to-medium volume production and toolroom environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-profile replacement cutoff blade for use in lathe toolpost cutoff blade holders that accept a 3/16-inch wide by 1-inch high blade geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Always power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the blade in the holder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and square to the workpiece centerline before resuming operation. Do not exceed the cutting speed and feed recommendations appropriate for the workpiece material and blade cross-section.
