Value Collection 777-001042 Rectangular Carbide Blank C2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 777-001042 is a rectangular carbide blank designed for use in tooling fabrication, custom cutting tool production, and precision machining applications. Manufactured to industry specification STB-22L and rated at C2 material grade, this blank measures 6 inches in length with a 1/16 inch width and 1/16 inch thickness. It is intended for machinists, tool grinders, and toolroom professionals who require raw carbide stock for grinding, brazing, or fitting into custom tool holders. The C2 grade designates a general-purpose tungsten carbide formulation well suited for cast iron, nonferrous metals, and non-metallic materials.

This carbide blank is a standard toolroom consumable used in job shops, production machine shops, and maintenance toolrooms. Its slender cross-section makes it appropriate for applications requiring narrow carbide inserts, form tools, or precision-ground cutting edges. Fabricators working with small-diameter boring bars, threading tools, or custom profiling tools will find this blank sized for tight-geometry work. It is sold as a single piece and is compatible with conventional wet or dry surface grinding operations used to finish carbide blanks to final geometry.

Key Features

• Rectangular cross-section for straightforward grinding and seating in standard tool holders
• C2 grade tungsten carbide suitable for general machining of cast iron and nonferrous materials
• Meets industry specification STB-22L
• 6 inch length provides stock for multiple tool segments or extended form tools
• Slender 1/16 inch by 1/16 inch profile suited for fine-geometry and small-scale tooling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose carbide blank for use in custom tooling fabrication across a wide range of machine tool platforms and holding systems where STB-22L specification carbide stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are typically processed by tool grinders and machining professionals using diamond grinding wheels rated for tungsten carbide. Wet grinding is recommended where possible to manage heat buildup during shaping. Brazing operations should follow accepted silver-alloy brazing practices appropriate for carbide-to-steel joints. Handle blanks carefully to avoid chipping, as carbide is brittle under impact loading.
