Value Collection 505000 Solid Carbide Round 0.125 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 505000 is a solid carbide round rod measuring 0.125 inches in overall diameter. Solid carbide rounds are precision ground stock used as raw material for fabricating custom cutting tools, punches, pins, and wear components. Carbide offers significantly higher hardness and abrasion resistance compared to high-speed steel, making it well-suited for demanding applications where tool life and dimensional stability are critical. This piece is sold individually and is appropriate for toolmakers, machinists, and precision fabricators who need small-diameter carbide stock for grinding or EDM operations.

This 0.125-inch diameter carbide round is a standard blank used in tool and die shops, machine shops, and precision manufacturing environments. It is commonly used to produce drill blanks, end mill blanks, boring bars, and similar small cutting tool components. The small diameter makes it particularly applicable for micro-tooling fabrication and instrument-grade applications where tight tolerances and material consistency are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for high hardness and abrasion resistance
• 0.125 inches overall diameter precision ground stock
• Suitable for grinding, EDM, and custom tool fabrication
• Sold as a single piece for exact-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide round blank for use in tool and die fabrication, machining, and precision manufacturing applications requiring 0.125-inch diameter carbide stock.

Installation Notes

Solid carbide rounds are raw material stock and require machining or grinding by a qualified toolmaker or machinist before use as a finished component. Handle with care, as carbide is brittle and can chip or crack if dropped or subjected to impact. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding carbide, including eye protection and respiratory protection rated for fine particulates. Secure the workpiece firmly in a fixture or chuck rated for the operation being performed.
