Value Collection 700-007244 Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007244 is a rectangular tungsten carbide blank intended for use in cutting tool fabrication, brazing, and custom tooling applications. Measuring 0.5 inches long, 0.375 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick, this unground blank carries a corner radius of 0.1875 inches and is manufactured to Grade I-55 with a C5 material grade designation. It is supplied in the Series 2000 line and conforms to Industry Specification 2180. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and cutting tool grinders use blanks like this as raw stock for producing custom inserts, brazed tips, and specialty cutting edges.

This carbide blank suits applications where a small, precise rectangular carbide substrate is required prior to grinding or brazing. The C5 grade is commonly associated with general-purpose machining of cast iron, nonferrous materials, and nonmetallic workpieces at moderate to high cutting speeds. The unground surface condition means the blank arrives without finish grinding, allowing the end user to grind it to final geometry. It is appropriate for both prototype tooling and production-volume tool fabrication in machine shops and tool grinding operations.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rectangular carbide blank suitable for brazing, grinding, and custom cutting tool fabrication where a C5-grade, Series 2000 substrate is specified.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks of this type are typically handled by tool grinders or machinists using diamond grinding wheels and brazing equipment. Personal protective equipment including eye protection is required when grinding carbide. Inspect the blank for cracks or chips before brazing or grinding. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and equipment manufacturer guidelines when processing carbide substrates.
