Value Collection 505007 Solid Carbide Round 0.25in C2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 505007 is a solid carbide round rod ground to precise dimensions for use in toolmaking, machining, and fabrication applications. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this round stock is manufactured from C2-grade carbide, a material known for its hardness and wear resistance. At 0.02814 pounds, the rod is compact and suited for small-part production environments. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators use carbide rounds as raw stock for custom cutting tools, punches, wear parts, and precision components.

This carbide round is appropriate for use in machine shops, tool grinding operations, and precision manufacturing environments. The C2 carbide grade makes it suitable for general-purpose cutting tool blanks and wear-resistant applications where steel would not hold up to heat or abrasion. It is commonly used in both production and maintenance machining scenarios where a small-diameter, ground carbide blank is required as a starting point for finished tooling.

Key Features

• 0.25 inch diameter ground to consistent tolerances for toolmaking use
• 2 inch overall length provides usable stock for small punch and tool blank applications
• C2-grade carbide offers high hardness and resistance to wear and heat
• Lightweight at 0.02814 pounds, suitable for precision component work
• Ground finish supports accurate fitment in tool holders and fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide round blank for use in toolmaking, machining, and fabrication applications requiring 0.25 inch diameter C2-grade carbide stock.

Installation Notes

Carbide rounds are typically handled and machined by skilled machinists or tool grinders using diamond grinding wheels and appropriate coolant. Carbide is brittle and should not be subjected to impact or clamping forces that concentrate stress at a single point. Secure workholding and proper wheel selection are required when grinding or finishing this material. Follow shop safety protocols for carbide dust and chip handling during any machining operations.
