UK supplier of 1mm T section parting blades

[Graham ButcherParticipant @grahambutcher80356]

Does anyone know of a supplier of 1mm 0.040" wide P1N HSS parting blades in the UK. Theses are T section with a chip breaker groove. They are available in the US but wondered if there is a UK supplier. Many thanks Graham.

Hi Graham

Have a look at the Exccentric Engineering add on this page near the bottom.

He sells them and has a UK distributer.

Cheers Michael.

The ones I have purchased from Eccentric engineering are of excellent quality but have a flat top to them without the groove Graham is requesting.

Edit :- The ones from Chronos https://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/New–Clamp-Type-Parting-Tool-s-with-Chipbreaker-Blade–5–cobalt-.html look from some of the images as if the may have a groove in them. – You could always phone them and ask.

"T" Type Parting Off Blades

The premium quality blades we stock are sourced from the largest manufacturer of repetition lathe tooling in the USA.

The blades have a slight hollow grind along the top (bottom) cutting edge which assists in curling the chip for easier ejection from the cut.

The industry standard height for 1/2" "T" type parting blades is actually close to 12mm.
Please be aware that some of the cheaper "T" type blades from China and India are 12.7mm (1/2&quot high and will not fit the FoR inverted parting tool holder.

This is what EE's advert says

Cheers Michael.

I use a dremmel to grind a light grove along the length of it .
