Magnum 1/16" Tapered T-1 HSS Cut Off Blade (COBT116)
Mastering precision parting on miniature and small-scale workpieces is achieved with the Magnum COBT116 1/16" Tapered T-1 Cut Off Blade. The ultra-narrow 1/16" (1.59 mm) cutting width is ideal for micro-machining tasks where minimizing material kerf is critical for protecting the integrity of the finished part. Featuring a T-1 tapered profile, the blade provides essential side clearance to prevent binding and tool chatter in narrow grooves. This high-speed steel (HSS) blade maintains a sharp cutting edge throughout prolonged usage in brass, aluminum, and mild steels, offering the thermal resistance needed for continuous cut-off cycles .
Features
- Micro-parting - 1/16" width allows for detailed parting with minimal material loss .
