Cobalt M42 Rectangular Tool Bit

For manual lathe operators needing a versatile blank
Machinists who grind custom tool profiles for turning, facing or boring will find this cobalt M42 grade suitable. Buyers who require a pre-ground geometry, a specific bevel angle or a different shank size for an automatic tool changer should look at other options.
Cobalt M42 grade for wear resistance
The M42 cobalt alloy provides high red hardness and abrasion resistance for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This material property determines whether the blank withstands the heat and wear of your specific machining application.
