Key Features & Benefits
- 26mm blade slot — standard size matched to the L468 parting blade and most common HSS / insert blades.
- Hardened body — resists deformation under heavy parting loads where rigidity is everything.
- Squared shank — sits flat in the tool post without needing parallels or shimming.
- Locking screws on top — clamp the blade firmly without crushing or bowing it.
When to Use This Block
Parting blocks are the preferred way to hold a tall, thin parting blade rigid against the work. The blade hangs below the block, and the block sits in the tool post — this puts the cutting edge close to the toolpost and minimises chatter. Choose the tool height that matches your lathe’s tool-post centre height.
