At 3\/4 inches wide, 1 inch high, and 6 inches in overall length, this blank provides machinists and tool-and-die professionals with the raw stock needed to grind single-point lathe tools, boring bars, and other shop-made cutters. M42 cobalt steel offers elevated red hardness compared to standard M2 high-speed steel, making it well suited for harder work materials and higher cutting temperatures. The blank arrives ground to close tolerances on all faces, giving a consistent, ready-to-grind surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool bit blank is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities where custom or replacement cutting tools are ground in-house. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC tool grinding operations. The rectangular cross-section fits standard tool holders and grinder fixtures sized for 3\/4-inch by 1-inch blanks. Typical applications include single-point turning, facing, and boring operations on lathes working steel, stainless, and high-temperature alloys where cobalt grade tooling provides longer edge life than conventional HSS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated red hardness and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround finish on all faces for consistent starting dimensions and accurate tool geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangle cross-section: 3\/4 inches wide by 1 inch high, fits standard tool holder blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch overall length provides multiple regrinds or sufficient stock for longer tool designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for machining hard steels, stainless alloys, and high-temperature materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a ground tool bit blank for use with standard tool grinders and holders accepting 3\/4-inch by 1-inch rectangular cross-section stock.

Ensure the grinding wheel is rated for high-speed steel or cobalt materials before use. Secure the blank firmly in a tool grinder fixture or vise before grinding to prevent movement. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety procedures when grinding tool steel.\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: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches (152.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround or Unground\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: C44661\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51717317820722,"sku":"C44661","price":664.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e8fe8fd59452a819efa73ec684081b86.jpg?v=1788538400","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c44661-m42-cobalt-tool-bit-blank-6-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
