Value Collection 700-007011 Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007011 is a rectangular carbide blank designed for use in cutting tool fabrication, brazing, and grinding applications. This unground blank measures 3/8 inches in length, 1/4 inches in width, and 3/32 inches in thickness. Manufactured from C2 material grade carbide, it belongs to the Series 1000 line and meets Industry Specification 1060. Machinists, tool grinders, and toolroom technicians use blanks like this as raw stock to create custom cutting inserts, form tools, and wear parts. The compact dimensions make it well suited for small-scale precision tooling work.

This carbide blank is appropriate for toolroom and production environments where custom-ground cutting tools are fabricated in-house. The rectangular geometry and unground finish provide a consistent starting point for profile grinding, EDM shaping, or brazing onto steel shanks. Typical applications include lathe tooling, milling inserts, boring bars, and wear-resistant components in light to medium machining operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Unground finish provides consistent raw stock for custom tool fabrication
• C2 material grade carbide suits general-purpose cutting and wear applications
• Rectangular geometry simplifies fixturing during profile grinding or brazing
• Series 1000 construction meets Industry Specification 1060
• Compact size is suitable for small precision inserts and wear components

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rectangular carbide blank for use in toolrooms and production grinding operations requiring C2 grade, Series 1000 unground carbide stock.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks of this type are typically handled by tool and die makers or precision grinders using diamond grinding wheels and brazing equipment. Secure the blank properly in a fixture or vise before grinding to prevent chipping or fracture. When brazing to a steel shank, follow standard silver brazing procedures and allow the assembly to cool slowly to avoid thermal cracking. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and appropriate respiratory protection should be used during all grinding operations.
