Value Collection 700-007001A Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007001A is a rectangular tungsten carbide blank designed for toolmakers, machinists, and cutting tool fabricators who need raw carbide stock for custom grinding and tool production. Measuring 5/8 inches long, 1/8 inches wide, and 1/16 inches thick, this unground blank is supplied in Grade I-55 (Material Grade C5), making it suitable for applications requiring high hardness and wear resistance. It is part of the Series 1000 line of carbide blanks and arrives unground, ready for custom profiling to the user's exact tool geometry requirements.

This carbide blank is used in machine shops, tool-and-die operations, and cutting tool manufacturing environments where small-format carbide stock is needed. Its compact rectangular profile suits it for fabricating small boring bars, form tools, engraving cutters, and similar precision cutting tools. The unground finish allows full material removal latitude during the grinding process. It is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC toolroom grinding applications.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks of this type are typically brazed or mechanically clamped into toolholders by skilled machinists or tool grinders. Use appropriate diamond grinding wheels rated for tungsten carbide when profiling this blank. Handle carbide stock carefully, as the material is brittle and subject to chipping if dropped or impacted. Follow your shop's standard safety protocols for grinding operations, including eye protection and dust control measures appropriate for carbide particulate.
