Value Collection 461-2002 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 461-2002 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS blades, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. The blade measures 3/32 inches wide, 1/2 inch high, and 4-1/2 inches long with a bright finish. Machinists and toolroom professionals working in production or maintenance environments will find this blade a direct-fit replacement for standard parallel cutoff toolholders.

This cutoff blade is used in manual and CNC lathes for parting stock, cutting grooves, and performing recessing operations. Its parallel profile is compatible with standard blade-style toolholders that accept 3/32-inch-wide parallel blades. It is a common choice in general metalworking shops, maintenance departments, and toolrooms handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a cobalt-grade blade extends tool life over carbon or standard HSS options.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt HSS construction provides superior heat resistance and longer tool life compared to standard M2 HSS
• Parallel blade style fits standard blade-type cutoff toolholders
• 3/32 inches wide for narrow kerf parting cuts that minimize material loss
• Bright finish as-ground for immediate use
• 4-1/2 inches overall length allows regrinding to extend service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard parallel cutoff blade toolholders accepting 3/32-inch-wide blades with a 1/2-inch height profile.

Installation Notes

Cutoff blades are installed and serviced by machinists following standard lathe tooling procedures. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or adjusting blade position in the toolholder. Ensure the blade is clamped securely and set on center with the workpiece axis before resuming cuts. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures.
