Value Collection 397-7066 Cutoff Blade M2 Hss 6 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 397-7066 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 cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It measures 3/16 inch wide, 1 inch high, and 6 inches long, making it a standard-profile blade suited for tool holders sized to accept that cross-section. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in production or maintenance shop environments will find this a direct, no-modification fit for compatible cutoff toolholders.

This cutoff blade is used in metalworking applications where a rigid, single-point parting tool is required. It suits manual and CNC lathe setups in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The double-bevel geometry promotes chip clearance and reduces the tendency to dig in during cutoff operations. It is appropriate for workpieces in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. The 6-inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard toolholder setups without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• Double-beveled blade style promotes chip clearance during parting and cutoff
• M2 high speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness
• Bright finish allows easy visual inspection of the cutting edge condition
• 3/16 inch width minimizes material loss per cutoff pass
• 6 inches overall length fits standard cutoff toolholders for bench and engine lathes
• 1 inch blade height provides rigidity and resistance to deflection under cutting load

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare cutoff blade for standard toolholders accepting a 3/16 inch wide by 1 inch high blade profile. Verify toolholder blade slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Cutoff blades are typically installed and serviced by machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the lathe is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped before removing or installing the blade. Secure the blade firmly in the toolholder to the specified clamping torque indicated by the toolholder manufacturer, and verify the cutting edge is set at or near center height before beginning any cut. Inspect the blade for chipping or wear before each use.
