Size of cutoff blade for BXA tool holder
Teach me about cutoff blades. The slot in the BXA size holder
measures 5/8" (actually 11/32") so it could take a 5/8 by 1/8 cutoff tool, but it would be nice to use a narrower cutoff blade. What's the smallest size that can be used in the standard BXA size cutoff tool holder? Get the T type, tapered type or straight type of cutoff blade? What's a good place to buy cutoff blades? RWL |

Size of cutoff blade for BXA tool holder
the blade size is specified in the Aloris catalog that you can DL from their
web site - 11/32nds sounds right - but check the catalog - if you have an import, your needs may vary GeoLane at PTD dot NET wrote in message ... Teach me about cutoff blades.

Enco or MSC. Look for the parts for sale like you have and look for
replacements. Martin Martin H.

What's the smallest size that can be used in the standard BXA size cutoff tool holder? Get the T type, tapered type or straight type of cutoff blade? What's a good place to buy cutoff blades? Well ... I use a T-type blade in the BXA-sized holder by Phase-II. That blade is: 11/16"x 1/8" x5" Cleveland Mo-Max M-33 Cobalt and generally works well for me. (But a search by the MSC part number no longer finds it so I need to find another maker. Are you sure about your 11/32" measurement? That is rather tiny for a lathe large enough to use a BXA toolpost. RWL I just grind to whatever width I want. Cut-off is black magic, burry chicken guts during a full moon while burning black candles while chanting. I don't have a ready source for chicken guts, so I depend on luck. :-) Good Luck, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |
