Value Collection 700-007190A Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007190A is a rectangular tungsten carbide blank designed for use in tooling, machining, and cutting tool fabrication. Measuring 0.75 inches long by 0.75 inches wide by 0.1875 inches thick, this unground blank is supplied in Series 1000 at Grade I-55, which corresponds to the C5 material grade — a general-purpose carbide commonly selected for turning, milling, and boring applications on cast iron, nonferrous metals, and similar materials. Machinists and toolroom professionals use blanks like this as raw stock for grinding to a custom geometry or as replacement inserts in custom toolholders.

This carbide blank is suited for toolroom environments where standard insert geometries do not meet application requirements. The unground surface finish leaves material for precision grinding to final geometry and tolerance. Typical applications include custom lathe tooling, form tools, and wear-resistant component fabrication. The C5 carbide grade handles moderate cutting speeds and interrupted cuts on cast iron and nonferrous workpieces. Both production shops and maintenance toolrooms stock blanks of this size for on-demand tooling work.

Key Features

• Rectangular geometry — 0.75 inches long, 0.75 inches wide, 0.1875 inches thick
• Unground blank supplied as raw carbide stock for custom grinding
• Grade I-55 carbide, C5 material grade — suitable for cast iron and nonferrous cutting
• Series 1000 designation for tooling classification and procurement consistency
• Industry Specification 1340 for standardized grade reference
• Compact size at approximately 0.065 pounds — lightweight for handling and fixture loading

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular carbide blank for use in custom toolholders, brazed tooling setups, and toolroom grinding applications where a C5-grade unground blank of this size is required.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are typically brazed or mechanically clamped into toolholders by machinist or toolroom personnel. Grinding to final geometry requires a diamond grinding wheel rated for carbide stock. Always wear appropriate PPE when grinding carbide — carbide dust is a respiratory hazard. Confirm the blank grade and geometry are appropriate for the intended workpiece material and cutting parameters before grinding.
