It measures 0.5 inches wide by 0.5 inches high and 6 inches in overall length, providing a solid, unground billet that machinists and tool-and-die workers shape into single-point lathe tools, form tools, boring bars, and other custom cutting tools. M35 cobalt steel offers higher heat resistance and hardness retention than standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for cutting harder workpiece materials at elevated chip loads and feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments where custom-ground tooling is required. Typical applications include turning, facing, grooving, and threading operations on manual lathes and turret lathes. The square cross-section allows the blank to seat reliably in standard tool holders and tool post blocks before final grinding to geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved hot hardness and wear resistance compared to standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section at 0.5 inches x 0.5 inches for consistent seating in tool holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides sufficient stock for grinding multiple tool profiles over the life of the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnground billet allows machinists to grind custom rake, relief, and clearance angles to suit specific applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece packaging with no minimum order above one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard square tool bit blank for use in manual lathe tool posts, turret lathe holders, and tool grinding fixtures that accept 0.5-inch square shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to final geometry using a bench grinder or tool and cutter grinder; always wear appropriate eye protection and use a properly dressed grinding wheel rated for high-speed steel. Secure the workpiece firmly against the tool rest to maintain consistent angles during grinding. Verify the finished tool geometry matches the requirements of the lathe operation before mounting in the tool post. Allow the ground tool to cool adequately between passes to preserve the temper of the cobalt steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 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: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 460-2400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716933681458,"sku":"460-2400","price":92.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/09cfdc27feb5525807f039fe71e03b7b.jpg?v=1788533570","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-460-2400-m35-cobalt-tool-bit-blank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
