Value Collection 700-007089 Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007089 is a rectangular tungsten carbide blank used in tooling fabrication and cutting tool applications. This unground blank is supplied in a flat rectangular profile, ready for grinding or brazing to custom specifications. It belongs to Series 1000 and carries Grade I-22 (C2 material grade), making it suitable for general-purpose machining applications involving cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials. Dimensions are 9/16 inches long, 3/8 inches wide, and 5/32 inches thick. The part weighs approximately 0.02 pounds. It is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and toolroom technicians.

This carbide blank is appropriate for fabricating single-point lathe tools, boring bars, form tools, and other custom cutting tools where the end user grinds the blank to final geometry. Its compact size suits tooling for small-bore or precision turning operations. The C2 grade designation indicates a general-purpose, wear-resistant carbide formulation used widely in production and job-shop environments. The unground surface condition allows flexibility in finishing to exact rake, relief, and clearance angles as required by the application.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket blank compatible with Series 1000 tooling applications requiring a rectangular C2-grade carbide insert blank with dimensions of 9/16 inches x 3/8 inches x 5/32 inches.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks of this type are typically ground and brazed by machinists or tool grinders using diamond grinding wheels and silver-alloy brazing materials. Power down all equipment before mounting or testing any fabricated tooling. Follow shop safety procedures when grinding carbide, including use of appropriate respiratory protection and eye protection, as carbide dust is a respiratory hazard. Finished tools should be inspected for cracks or edge defects before use in any cutting operation.
