Omega's Machinable Tool Blank - Type A2 - VDI50 is a precision-ground steel blank designed for toolmakers and machinists who produce drills, end mills, reamers, and other cutting tools. It uses high-quality steel hardened to 60-62 HRC, providing a durable base for reliable tool production.

With Type A2 hardness and a standard VDI50 interface, these blanks offer consistent dimensions, a smooth finish, and straightforward setup for efficient workflow on the shop floor.

• 60–62 HRC hardened steel for long tool life: The material’s hardness delivers excellent wear resistance and edge retention, helping tools stay sharper longer in demanding cutting conditions.
• Precision-ground with tight tolerances: Type A2 geometry is finished to exact dimensions, delivering consistent tool geometry and reducing setup time and finishing work.
• VDI50-ready, machinable surface: Smooth, easily machinable finish paired with standard VDI50 interface compatibility enables quick mounting and repeatable production workflows.

This combination translates into faster tool development, less downtime, and more predictable results across your toolkit. The durable, precisely dimensioned blanks reduce rework, while the standard VDI50 interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of tooling and equipment. For machinists, engineers, and toolmakers, Omega's Type A2 blanks provide a reliable, efficient foundation for high-quality cutting tools and improved overall performance in everyday production.
