Cut Off Blade...

[YYCHM]

So, I need a 1/2" P-Type (actually T shaped) cut off blade..

Which one should I get???? Too many choice here and they all appear to be the same price? This is like going to Subway

In that screen shot, I've already selected this...

From your screen grab it appears to correspond to KBC paper catalog. They show 2 sizes for 1/2" height, the difference is width. I think I'm using M2 vs the 5% cobalt which is a bit better but price jump.
These blades are useful (within limits) for deeper grooving & special applications, but 99% of time I grab my AliExpress carbides for general parting.

P1 W=1/16 H=1/2

So the P1 vs P2 vs PX is the width specification? What's the N at the end mean?

 

[PeterT]

N, not quite sure I follow. Where do you see that?
You mean the x 4-1/2 (Length = 4.5")?

There is P1 and P1N, HSS and Cobalt.

I don't have a link to your amazon ad but what happens if you click on the button, does it refresh the information?
Otherwise sorry, I don't know.

Ya, I'm wondering now if it's a filtering problem on Amazon. Once I select size, I shouldn't be presented with so many options?

N means narrow.

Size P1 blades are 1/16" wide and are the most commonly-used size. P1N blades are 0.040" wide. These thinner blades are good for small work. P1X blades are 5/64" wide.

Ok, I figured out the Amazon confusion now.

If you select 1/16 it auto selects P1, selecting 3/32 auto selects P2 etc etc.

Doohhh.
