Measuring 5\/16 inches wide by 5\/16 inches high with an overall length of 2.5 inches, this blank gives machinists a solid starting point for creating single-point turning tools, boring tools, or specialty form tools on a bench grinder or surface grinder. M35 cobalt steel offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is intended for use in machine shop environments, tool rooms, and vocational settings where custom tool geometries are required. It fits standard tool post holders and boring bar setups that accept 5\/16-inch square shank tooling. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians who grind their own cutting tools to match a specific profile or replace a worn insert holder with a solid HSS alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section at 5\/16 inches x 5\/16 inches fits standard 5\/16-inch tool post slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch overall length provides adequate stock for grinding multiple tool profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnground blank format allows full custom geometry to be applied by the user\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.08 pounds, easy to handle and store in quantity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stock blank for tool post holders, boring bar setups, and grinder fixtures that accept 5\/16-inch square high-speed steel tool bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrinding this blank requires a bench or surface grinder equipped with an appropriate wheel rated for high-speed steel. Secure the blank firmly in a tool holder or vise before grinding to maintain consistent angles. Always wear eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when grinding cobalt steel. Once ground to the desired geometry, seat the tool securely in the tool post and verify clearance angles before engaging the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M35\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 460-10494\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711663767858,"sku":"460-10494","price":32.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/956e595c7316cc21827716262ade4600.jpg?v=1788478333","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-460-10494-m35-cobalt-tool-bit-blank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
