Value Collection 460-0010 M35 Cobalt Tool Bit Blank 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 460-0010 is a square tool bit blank machined from M35 cobalt high-speed steel. It measures 1/8 inch wide by 1/8 inch high with an overall length of 2-1/2 inches. Tool bit blanks are unground stock used by machinists and toolmakers to grind custom cutting profiles for lathes, shapers, and other metalworking equipment. The M35 cobalt alloy provides elevated heat resistance and hardness retention compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and harder workpiece materials. The part weighs 0.03 pounds. Installation and grinding are performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers.

This tool bit blank is intended for use in manual and CNC metalworking applications where a custom-ground cutting edge is required. The square cross-section and compact 1/8-inch profile make it appropriate for small-bore turning, threading, form grinding, and similar precision operations. It is sold individually and is suited to job shops, maintenance machining environments, and toolroom use where custom tool geometries are ground to specification.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• Square end shape ready for custom grinding to any cutting profile
• Compact 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch cross-section for small-tool and precision applications
• 2-1/2 inch overall length provides adequate stock for regrinding
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling and tool post use

Compatibility

Designed as an unground blank for use in any tool holder or lathe tool post accepting a 1/8-inch square shank bit, across a wide range of manual and CNC metalworking machines.

Installation Notes

Grinding and shaping of tool bit blanks should be performed by a qualified machinist using appropriate bench or surface grinders with suitable wheel grades for high-speed steel. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection when grinding. Secure the blank firmly in a grinding fixture or tool rest to maintain consistent geometry. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and OSHA standards for abrasive grinding operations.
