Cleveland C44547 Square Tool Bit
The Cleveland C44547 is a square tool bit made from M42 cobalt material. It measures 3/8 inch in overall width and height with a 3 inch overall length. This lathe tool blank suits machinists and metalworkers needing a durable cutting blank for turning operations. The non-beveled design works for both right-hand and left-hand applications.
Installation and common issues
The bit fits standard tool holders that accept 3/8 inch square shanks. Secure it firmly to prevent movement during cutting passes. A loose fit can cause chatter or tool breakage under load. Ensure the holder is clean and the bit seats fully before tightening. Improper alignment leads to poor surface finish and dimensional errors.
Suitable users and alternatives
This tool bit suits machinists working with cobalt-compatible materials on manual or CNC lathes. Buyers needing beveled cutting edges or different shank dimensions should look at other tool bit styles. Those requiring indexable inserts or carbide grades will need a different product type. The fixed 3/8 inch square size limits holder compatibility.
