Cleveland C44516 Tool Bit Overview
This Cleveland C44516 tool bit is a square M2 high-speed steel blank intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who grind custom lathe cutters. The right- and left-hand non-beveled profile allows the user to shape the cutting geometry for specific turning operations.
Critical Specification
The single specification that decides fit is the 3/8-inch square cross-section; the blank measures 3/8 inch wide by 3/8 inch high and 3 inches long, so it only fits tool holders machined for that exact shank size.

Questions about this item
How does the M2 high-speed steel perform once the bit is mounted in a lathe?
The M2 grade retains hardness at elevated temperatures, so the edge stays sharp during prolonged turning of mild steel, cast iron or brass without frequent regrinding.
What does the square 3/8 in shank limit in terms of tool-post compatibility?
It fits standard quick-change holders and clamps designed for 3/8 in square blanks, but will not seat in round-shank or larger-square tooling blocks.
