Tool Bits, M2 High Speed Steel, Individual Sizes

Our high-speed steel (M2) lathe cutting tool bit blanks are made for maximum durability and performance. They are perfect for a variety of lathe applications, from roughing to finishing, and can be easily shaped or angled to fit your specific cutting needs. Its sharp edge and fine tip allow for precise and accurate cuts, making it an ideal choice for precision machining and prototyping tasks.

M2 is a high-speed steel in the tungsten-molybdenum series. The carbides in it are small and evenly distributed. It has high wear resistance. It is used for a variety of tools, such as drill bits, taps and reamers. The M2 steel is heat-treated for added toughness and wear resistance, making it ideal for heavy duty cutting operations. this tool bit is capable of withstanding high temperatures and stress during use, ensuring a long lifespan.

Whether you're working with aluminum, steel, or other metals, this tool bit is up to the task. It is a versatile and essential tool for any metal lathe operator looking to achieve high-quality results.

These tool bits are accurately ground on four sides and can be used as inexpensive parallels to support work on the mini mill or surface plate.

We carry both imported tool bits made of M2 high speed steel and American-made tool bits made of T-15 high speed steel from the A. R. Warner Co.

AISI M-2 is an all-purpose grade with notable toughness. Good wear resistance and hot hardness qualities.
