Measuring 0.25 inches wide, 0.375 inches high, and 2.5 inches overall length, this blank is intended for machinists and toolmakers who grind custom cutting profiles to suit specific lathe, shaper, or milling applications. M35 cobalt steel offers elevated heat resistance and hardness retention compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it suitable for harder work materials and interrupted cuts. The ground finish ensures consistent dimensional accuracy across the blank's cross-section before the final profile grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and vocational settings where operators grind their own single-point cutting tools. It is appropriate for general-purpose turning, threading, parting, and form-tool applications on manual lathes and shapers. The rectangle cross-section fits standard tool holders and lantern-style post holders commonly found in manual metalworking setups. Sold individually, it suits both low-volume toolroom use and bench-level tool fabrication tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround finish provides dimensional consistency for accurate custom tool grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangle cross-section compatible with standard tool holders and lantern posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2.5-inch overall length suits small to mid-size lathe tool posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit with no minimum order multiplier beyond one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose rectangle tool bit blank suitable for use in standard tool holders accepting a 0.25 inch wide by 0.375 inch high shank profile on manual lathes and shapers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrinding tool bit blanks is performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using a bench or pedestal grinder fitted with appropriate grinding wheels for high-speed steel. Always wear face protection and follow safe grinding practices when shaping the cutting profile. Secure the blank firmly in the tool holder and verify proper clearance and rake angles before taking a cut. Ensure the machine is powered down and locked out before changing or adjusting the tool bit in the holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 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: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround or Unground\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground\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: 461-0002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708105392434,"sku":"461-0002","price":31.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5fe84a10ff026ca0edf73712f34b7e9e.jpg?v=1788444247","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-461-0002-m35-cobalt-tool-bit-blank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
