Short Description

Walk into any machine shop and you will find a drawer full of square tool bits waiting to be ground into the next job's cutting edge, and the HT 600 is one that earns its spot there quickly. This is a square-section high-speed steel blank supplied as raw bar stock, left ready for the toolmaker to shape it. It suits everyday lathe work such as turning and facing, and it takes well to being reground into more specific profiles for grooving or threading. What stands out about this bit is how consistently it behaves once it is on the tool post, cut after cut.

  • Material: produced from high-speed steel (HSS), a tool steel that keeps its hardness at elevated cutting temperatures.
  • Grade: commonly available in grade M2, a widely used general-purpose HSS grade.
  • Hardness: falls in the 62 to 66 HRC range once heat-treated.
  • Profile: straight square bar, supplied unshaped so it can be ground to the required tool geometry.
  • Size range: available in a spread of inch and metric square dimensions.
  • Surface finish: ground finish on all four faces for a clean starting point before regrinding.
  • Tolerance: manufactured to a tight square tolerance for a snug fit in the tool post.

Why Choose Genuine Enterprises

We treat squareness and hardness as non-negotiable checkpoints before any batch of tool bits leaves our facility, because a bit that is out of tolerance by even a fraction can throw off an entire setup. Our grinding process is set up to repeat the same result run after run, so machinists know what to expect every time they open a box. That kind of consistency saves time on the shop floor, where retooling mid-job is never welcome.

 

As an HT 600 supplier in India, we work with everyone from small toolrooms to larger manufacturing units, adjusting order sizes to match what each customer actually needs. Stock is kept ready so a delayed shipment does not become the reason a production line stalls. Custom sizing requests are also handled directly by our team rather than passed through layers of process.

1.What is the HT 600 tool bit made of? 

It is made from high-speed steel, chosen because it keeps its hardness even as the cutting edge heats up during use.

2. Can the HT 600 be shaped into different cutting profiles? 

Yes, it is supplied as a raw ground blank so it can be ground into turning, parting, threading, or custom form profiles as needed.

3. What lathe operations is the HT 600 suited for? 

It works well for turning, facing, parting, and threading, covering most of the routine cutting tasks on a centre lathe.

4. How long does the HT 600 typically last in use? 

Its lifespan depends on usage and regrinding frequency, but it is designed to be reground several times before replacement is needed.

5. Is the HT 600 available in metric sizes? 

Yes, it is offered in both inch and metric square dimensions to suit different tool holders and workshop setups.
