Value Collection 461-2000 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 461-2000 is a parallel-style cutoff blade ground from M35 cobalt high-speed steel and finished bright. It measures 1/16 inch wide, 11/16 inch high, and 5 inches long overall, making it a standard profile for parting and grooving operations on manual and CNC lathes. M35 cobalt steel offers increased heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, which extends tool life when cutting tough ferrous alloys, stainless steel, and harder non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this blade profile.

This blade is suited for parting operations on engine lathes, turret lathes, and similar turning centers where a parallel blade holder is used. The 5-inch length provides enough stock to allow resharpening over the blade's service life. The bright finish indicates an uncoated ground surface, which is appropriate for general-purpose parting where coolant is applied to manage heat at the cutting edge.

Key Features

• Parallel blade style for use with standard parallel-slot cutoff blade holders
• M35 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 1/16 inch width minimizes material loss during parting operations
• 5 inch overall length allows multiple resharpenings before replacement
• Bright (uncoated) finish compatible with coolant-assisted cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for parallel-style cutoff blade holders accepting a 1/16 inch wide by 11/16 inch high blade profile on manual and CNC turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before seating or removing the blade from its holder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and seated square to the work axis before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the holder manufacturer's recommended depth-of-cut for this blade width.
