It measures 0.5 inches wide, 1.5 inches high, and 7 inches in overall length, providing ample stock for grinding custom single-point lathe tools, form tools, or specialty cutting profiles. The M35 cobalt grade offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it a practical choice for machinists cutting harder alloys, stainless steels, and abrasive materials. This blank arrives ground on all faces, ensuring consistent dimensions and a ready surface for bench grinder or surface grinder shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is suited for use in manual engine lathes, turret lathes, and toolroom applications where operators grind their own cutting tools to match a specific profile or nose radius. It is commonly used in production shops, toolrooms, and maintenance machining environments where off-the-shelf insert tooling cannot meet a specific form requirement. Machinists and tool and die makers working with cobalt HSS blanks of this size will find it appropriate for medium to heavy interrupted cuts on tougher workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM35 cobalt HSS construction for enhanced heat resistance and edge retention over standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangle ground profile provides a consistent, flat starting surface for custom tool grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches high cross-section suits medium toolholder slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-inch overall length allows multiple regrinds over the service life of the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround finish on all faces reduces setup time at the bench or surface grinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard rectangle tool bit blank suitable for toolholders and boring bar setups accepting a 0.5-inch by 1.5-inch cross-section bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist or toolmaker using a bench grinder or surface grinder equipped with an appropriate wheel for high-speed steel. Wear eye protection and use a grinder rest to maintain consistent relief and rake angles during shaping. Quench the blank frequently in water during grinding to prevent overheating, which can draw the temper and reduce hardness. Secure the finished tool in the toolholder to the manufacturer-specified clamping torque before engaging the workpiece.\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: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 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: 461-0135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723571364146,"sku":"461-0135","price":289.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/58b1543b572dffcff952caffd73ee1cc.jpg?v=1788606465","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-461-0135-m35-cobalt-tool-bit-blank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
