Cleveland C44513 Lathe Tool Blank 1/4 in High
This lathe tool blank is made from high-speed steel and measures 1/4 inch square by 2 1/2 inches long. It is supplied non-bevelled and suitable for right-hand or left-hand grinding. The blank is intended for machinists and toolmakers who need to form custom single-point cutting tools.
Suitable for machinists creating custom tool
This blank suits users who grind their own turning tools to specific geometries. It is not for buyers who want a ready-to-use cutting tool with a pre-ground edge. It is also not for applications requiring a bevelled blank or a different cross-section size.
High-speed steel grade M2 construction
The blank is manufactured from M2 high-speed steel, which provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for general-purpose lathe tooling. This material specification determines whether the blank will perform adequately for the intended workpiece materials and cutting conditions.

- High-speed steel construction resists wear during cutting

Questions about this item
What size tool holder do I need for the 1/4 in square shank?
A standard 1/4 in square tool post or quick-change holder will secure the blank without modification.
Can I grind this M2 blank on the same bench grinder I use for carbon-steel bits?
Yes, a typical vitrified aluminum-oxide wheel works fine; just dress it often to prevent glazing on the harder high-speed steel.
After grinding, how can I check the edge is ready for turning?
Inspect under good light — a clean, continuous line with no nicks or rounded corners means the geometry is correct.
