Value Collection 777-001047G Rectangular Carbide Blank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 777-001047G is a rectangular carbide blank ground to precise dimensions for use in tooling fabrication, brazing, and custom cutting tool manufacturing. Measuring 6 inches long, 1/8 inch wide, and 1/16 inch thick, this blank is produced to Material Grade C2, a general-purpose tungsten carbide grade suited for machining cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials. It conforms to Industry Specification STB-24L. Machinists, toolmakers, and tooling engineers use these blanks as raw stock for tipped tools, form tools, and wear parts.

This carbide blank is appropriate for job shop and production environments where custom or replacement cutting tool inserts are fabricated in-house. The rectangular profile and standardized C2 grade make it a practical stock item for toolrooms that grind and braze their own tooling. It is also used in fixture and wear-component applications where hard, abrasion-resistant material is required. Supplied individually, it is suited for low-volume tooling repair as well as higher-volume production setups where blanks are consumed regularly.

Key Features

• C2 tungsten carbide grade — suitable for cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials
• Conforms to Industry Specification STB-24L for standardized tooling stock
• Rectangular profile for straightforward brazing and grinding into custom tool forms
• Compact cross-section — 1/8 inch wide by 1/16 inch thick — for small-tool and insert applications
• 6-inch length provides multiple usable segments from a single blank

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose carbide blank conforming to Industry Specification STB-24L, compatible with standard brazing and grinding processes used in the fabrication of tipped cutting tools and wear components.

Installation Notes

Carbide blanks are typically worked by toolmakers and machinists using diamond grinding wheels and brazing equipment. Carbide is brittle — handle and clamp with care to avoid chipping edges during setup. Follow established shop safety practices for grinding carbide, including proper ventilation and respiratory protection when dry-grinding. No electrical lockout or fluid shutoff is required for fabrication use, though all relevant machine safety procedures should be observed.
