Global Tools HSS Trapezoid Blades 1/8 in x 3/4 in x 6 in Inserts

Description

Product Overview

The Global Tools HSS trapezoid blades are engineered for high‑performance parting and cut‑off tasks on a wide range of metalworking lathes. Each blade measures 1/8 in x 3/4 in x 6 in, offering a long cutting length that maximizes material removal while maintaining a compact profile for easy tool holder integration. Constructed from high‑speed steel (HSS) and subjected to a hardening and grinding process, these inserts deliver superior wear resistance and edge retention, ensuring consistent, clean cuts even under demanding conditions.

Usage

These inserts are ideal for precision parting, slotting, and cut‑off operations in both production and prototyping environments. Whether you are machining steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or other ferrous and non‑ferrous alloys, the hardened and ground geometry provides a stable cutting edge that reduces vibration and improves surface finish. The trapezoidal shape, with one side at 1/8 in thickness and the opposite side at 5/64 in, allows for deep cuts while preserving rigidity, making the blades suitable for high‑speed turning, finishing, and roughing applications.

FAQ

What types of metals can these blades cut?

The blades are suitable for a broad range of metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. Their hardened HSS composition allows them to maintain cutting performance across varying hardness levels.

Are the blades compatible with all lathe tool holders?

They are designed to fit standard ISO and DIN‑type tool holders commonly used in CNC and manual lathes. Verify the holder’s slot dimensions to ensure a secure fit.

How do I maintain the edge life of the blades?

Regularly inspect the cutting edge for wear and replace the insert when the edge becomes dull. Using appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates, as recommended in the machine’s manual, will also extend blade life.

Can I use these blades for high‑speed machining?

Yes. The hard‑ground HSS material is engineered to withstand high spindle speeds while delivering consistent cutting performance. Adjust cutting parameters according to the material being machined for optimal results.
