Value Collection 461-2003 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 461-2003 is a parallel-style cutoff blade manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish. Designed for parting and grooving operations on lathes and similar turning equipment, this blade measures 3/32 inches wide, 5/8 inches high, and 5 inches in overall length. The M35 cobalt composition provides increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for cutting harder workpiece materials at elevated cutting speeds. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this blade into compatible cutoff blade holders for reliable, repeatable parting cuts.

This cutoff blade is intended for use in metalworking and machining environments, including production shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities. Its parallel blade style makes it compatible with standard cutoff blade holders that accept that profile. The bright finish indicates an uncoated surface, which is appropriate for general-purpose parting applications across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is sold individually and suited for both job-shop and production settings where consistent cutoff performance is required.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• Parallel blade style fits standard cutoff blade holders accepting this profile
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose parting and grooving
• 3/32 inch width delivers narrow kerf for efficient material removal
• 5 inch overall length provides reach for a variety of workpiece diameters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for standard lathe cutoff blade holders that accept a parallel-style blade with 3/32 inch width and 5/8 inch height profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the lathe or turning center before inserting or removing the cutoff blade. Ensure the blade holder is clean and free of chips before seating the blade, and verify that the blade is clamped securely and square to the workpiece before resuming operation. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures for tooling changes on rotating equipment.
