Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a replacement blade for my parting tool, it is HSS with an 8mm shank. I'm struggling to find any on t'internet

Thanks Stuart

Is it an HSS blade something like this or one with the smaller blade like this in which case this will fit the Chronos one

Exactly like that! Arc eurotrade are out of stock though 😕

Are we allowed to mention bona fide UK-based eBay sellers here?

RDG Tools list something suitable, as does MaxT Engineering Supplies.

The item numbers, if they survive the censor, are 351498912133 and 372619224936.

Thanks, I did take a look at the RDG tools listing before but they don't seem to list one at 8mm. The MaxT might work though, I'll remeasure my paring tool tomorrow.

Sorry, clarity fell away in the search for brevity. I was going off the ArcEuro description that says it is 8.3mm high. There are a lot of 5/16" x 1/16" blades listed, but they might not be tall enough and possibly too thick. The RDG one is the correct 1.5mm width but 10mm high, and could be reduced on its underside by 1.7mm.
