Value Collection 777-001039 Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 777-001039 is a rectangular carbide blank used as raw tooling stock for grinding, brazing, or fabricating custom cutting tools and inserts. Made to Industry Specification STB-12A with a C2 material grade, this blank delivers the hardness and wear resistance expected from cemented carbide. It measures 1-1/2 inches long, 1/16 inches wide, and 1/32 inches thick, making it suitable for small-scale tooling applications where precise stock dimensions are required. Machinists, toolmakers, and tool and die technicians select carbide blanks like this when building custom tooling from scratch or regrinding worn inserts to restore geometry.

This blank is suited for use in machine shops, tool grinding operations, and manufacturing environments that require small-format carbide stock. At 1-1/2 inches by 1/16 inches by 1/32 inches, it fits applications where thin, narrow carbide profiles are needed, such as small boring tools, engraving cutters, or specialized form tools. It is sold individually, making it practical for low-volume custom tooling work or prototype tool fabrication.

Key Features

• C2 carbide grade provides good wear resistance for general machining and cutting tool applications
• Meets Industry Specification STB-12A for consistent blank geometry and material quality
• Compact rectangular profile: 1-1/2 inches long, 1/16 inches wide, 1/32 inches thick
• Suitable for grinding, brazing, or forming into custom cutting tool profiles
• Sold as a single piece with no minimum quantity beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular carbide blank for use in general toolmaking and tool grinding applications where STB-12A specification stock is required.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are worked by qualified toolmakers or machinists using diamond grinding wheels rated for cemented carbide. Eye protection and dust control are required when grinding carbide due to fine particulate hazards. Brazing should be performed with appropriate silver-alloy brazing rod and flux formulated for carbide-to-steel joints. Handle blanks carefully to avoid chipping edges prior to final grinding.
