Value Collection 700-007099D Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007099D is a rectangular carbide blank used as raw stock for grinding and fabricating custom cutting tools, inserts, and wear parts. Made from C5-grade tungsten carbide, this unground blank offers the hardness and abrasion resistance needed for machining steel, cast iron, and similar materials. At 7/16 inches long, 5/16 inches wide, and 3/16 inches thick, it is sized for small tooling applications where precise geometry will be achieved through subsequent grinding operations. It is handled by tool-and-die makers, machinists, and toolroom personnel.

This blank fits into Series 1000 tooling applications and meets Industry Specification 1250. Its unground condition makes it suitable for shops that grind their own tools to tight tolerances or custom profiles. Typical use cases include fabricating single-point lathe tools, boring bars, and specialized form tools. The compact dimensions also make it practical for repair and regrind work where a small carbide section is required to rebuild or replace a worn cutting edge.

Key Features

• C5-grade carbide (Grade I-55) for use in steel and cast iron cutting applications
• Unground blank allows custom geometry to be applied by the end user
• Rectangular profile simplifies fixturing during grinding operations
• Series 1000 classification for consistent tooling system compatibility
• Compact size suitable for small tooling, inserts, and wear-part fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an unground carbide blank for Series 1000 tooling systems meeting Industry Specification 1250. Intended for use wherever a C5-grade rectangular carbide blank of these dimensions is required.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are ground to final shape using diamond grinding wheels and must be handled by qualified toolroom machinists or tool-and-die makers. Secure the blank properly in a grinding fixture before any material removal to prevent chipping or cracking. Carbide is brittle — avoid impact, clamping stress, or thermal shock during grinding. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when grinding carbide, including eye and respiratory protection.
