It measures 3\/4 inches wide by 3\/4 inches high with an overall length of 5 inches. Tool bit blanks are unformed cutting tool stock used by machinists and toolmakers to grind custom profiles for lathe, shaper, or planer work. M2 high speed steel offers a balance of wear resistance, toughness, and heat resistance, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose tool grinding. This blank ships ground to close tolerances, giving the toolmaker a consistent starting surface before custom edge geometry is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is suited for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments where custom-ground cutting tools are required. It is commonly used to create single-point lathe tools, threading tools, form tools, and other specialty cutting profiles. The square cross section allows the toolmaker to regrind and repurpose the blank multiple times, extending usable material life. It fits standard tool holders and lantern-style post setups sized for 3\/4 inch square shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for reliable wear resistance and toughness under cutting loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare ground profile at 3\/4 inches wide by 3\/4 inches high for consistent stock removal during custom grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inch overall length provides sufficient material for grinding multiple tool profiles over the blank's service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround finish provides a flat, accurate starting surface for precise custom edge geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare end shape compatible with standard 3\/4 inch tool holders and lantern post setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use tool blank for standard 3\/4 inch square shank tool holders used in lathe, shaper, and planer applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool bit blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist or toolmaker using a bench or tool-and-cutter grinder. Secure the blank firmly in an appropriate grinding fixture before shaping. Always wear eye protection and follow shop safety procedures when grinding high speed steel. Inspect the finished edge geometry before mounting the tool in a holder and engaging the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (19.05 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches (127.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Or Unground\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C44525\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695486533938,"sku":"C44525","price":193.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/419139bec981975476d2746594521885.jpg?v=1788335630","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c44525-tool-bit-blank-m2-high-speed-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
