Value Collection 461-2006 Parallel Cutoff Blade M35 Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 461-2006 is a parallel-style cutoff blade designed for precision parting and grooving operations on metalworking lathes and cutoff machines. Manufactured from M35 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright finish, this blade delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. It measures 3/16 inches wide, 1 inch high, and 6-1/2 inches long, making it well suited for moderate-depth cutoff work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this blade type in standard cutoff tool holders as part of routine parting operations.

This cutoff blade is intended for use in production and job-shop machining environments where consistent parting cuts are required. The parallel blade style suits a wide range of stock diameters and materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass. It is a common replacement or stocking blade for manual lathes, turret lathes, and screw machines. The M35 cobalt composition makes it a practical choice when cutting harder or tougher alloys that wear out standard HSS blades prematurely.

Key Features

• M35 cobalt high-speed steel construction provides enhanced hardness and heat resistance over standard HSS
• Parallel blade style for consistent, square parting cuts across a range of workpiece diameters
• Bright finish indicates an uncoated, ground surface ready for immediate use out of the package
• 3/16 inch width minimizes material loss per cut while maintaining blade rigidity
• 6-1/2 inch overall length accommodates standard cutoff tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking blade for use in cutoff tool holders that accept parallel-style HSS blades with a 3/16 inch width and 1 inch height profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard shop safety procedures. Secure the blade firmly in the cutoff tool holder and verify proper clamping torque per the tool holder manufacturer guidelines before operating. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before changing or repositioning the blade. Do not exceed the recommended depth-of-cut or feed rate for the blade width to avoid blade deflection or breakage.
