Value Collection 700-007011A Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007011A is a rectangular carbide blank used as raw tooling stock for grinding, brazing, or fabricating custom cutting tools. This unground blank is made from C5-grade tungsten carbide, suitable for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and other materials where a hard, wear-resistant cutting edge is required. Measuring 3/8 inches long, 1/4 inches wide, and 3/32 inches thick, it is compact and sized for small tooling applications. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC tooling specialists typically work with blanks of this type when building or reconditioning cutting tools to custom specifications.

This blank is supplied unground, meaning it requires the installer or toolmaker to grind it to the desired geometry before use. It is well suited for small lathe tools, boring bars, fly cutters, and other applications where carbide tipped or solid carbide cutting elements are needed. The Series 1000 designation and Industry Specification 1060 place it within a standardized tooling blank classification, making it easy to specify and source as a replacement or new-build stock item. Sold individually, it is appropriate for low-volume toolmaking, prototyping, or single-tool repair work.

Key Features

• Unground finish allows custom geometry to be ground to specification
• C5 material grade provides hardness and wear resistance for metal-cutting applications
• Grade I-55 carbide blank per industry classification
• Rectangular profile in compact dimensions for small tooling applications
• Series 1000 blank with Industry Specification 1060

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular carbide tooling blank for use in applications requiring C5-grade carbide stock, consistent with Series 1000 and Industry Specification 1060 classifications.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are typically brazed or mechanically clamped into a tool holder by a qualified toolmaker or machinist. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn during grinding operations, as carbide dust is a respiratory hazard. Grinding should be performed with a diamond wheel suited for tungsten carbide. Always inspect the blank for cracks or chips before brazing or mounting.
