Value Collection 700-007313 Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 700-007313 is a rectangular carbide blank designed for use in toolmaking, grinding, and precision machining applications. Measuring 1 inch long, 1/2 inch wide, and 5/16 inch thick, this unground blank gives machinists and toolroom professionals the raw carbide stock needed to fabricate or regrind custom cutting tools. It is manufactured to Grade I-22 and material grade C2, which corresponds to industry specification 1450. The unground condition means the blank ships without a finished cutting edge, ready to be shaped to the exact geometry required for the job.

This carbide blank is suited for toolroom and production machining environments where custom tool profiles are required. Typical applications include brazing onto tool shanks, grinding into form tools, or use as wear pads and insert blanks. The Series 1000 designation places it within a standard product family commonly stocked for general-purpose carbide tooling work. Machinists, tool grinders, and die makers working in job shops or manufacturing facilities are the primary users of this type of blank.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rectangular carbide blank compatible with standard brazed-tool and toolroom grinding applications requiring Grade C2 carbide stock in Series 1000 dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation of carbide blanks typically involves brazing onto a steel shank or fixture grinding, both of which should be performed by qualified machinists or tool grinders using appropriate equipment. When brazing, follow standard carbide brazing procedures including proper flux selection and controlled heat application to avoid thermal shock to the blank. Eye protection and grinding guards are required during any grinding or dressing operations on carbide material.
