Value Collection 700-007308A Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007308A is a rectangular carbide blank designed for use as a raw cutting tool substrate in machining and tooling applications. Measuring 0.75 inches long, 0.5 inches wide, and 0.1875 inches thick, this unground blank features a corner radius of 0.25 inches and is manufactured to Grade I-55 with a C5 material grade. It is suited for use in metalworking, woodworking, and general machining operations where a brazed or custom-ground carbide tip is required. Machinists and tooling specialists typically select this blank for fabricating or regrinding cutting tools to specific geometries.

This carbide blank is intended for trade and industrial use in shops requiring custom tool fabrication or replacement inserts ground to specification. The Series 2000 designation and Industry Specification 2330 make it a recognized reference for procurement in manufacturing environments. It is sold individually and is appropriate for tool-and-die work, lathe tooling, and milling applications where standard insert geometries do not meet the required profile.

Compatibility

Designed as an unground carbide blank for use across a range of brazing and custom tool-grinding applications in metalworking and general machining environments where C5-grade carbide stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks of this type are typically handled and ground by qualified machinists or tool grinders using diamond grinding wheels. Appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, should be worn during all grinding operations. Secure the blank firmly in a fixture or vise before grinding to prevent movement and ensure accurate geometry. Follow applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines during all tooling fabrication procedures.
