M42 Cobalt Square Tool Bit
The Cleveland Golf C44544 is a square tool bit made from M42 cobalt high-speed steel. It measures 1/4 inch in overall width and height with an overall length of 2 1/2 inches. The blank is non-bevelled and ground for both right-hand and left-hand lathe applications. Machinists and maintenance technicians use it for general-purpose turning and facing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Replaces standard high-speed steel blanks
The M42 cobalt grade increases hot hardness and wear resistance compared with conventional high-speed steel blanks. The upgrade is worthwhile when cutting tough alloys, stainless steels or interrupted cuts that dull standard tooling quickly. It is not suited for buyers who need pre-ground chip-breaker geometries or coated inserts for high-volume production turning.

Questions about this item
What size tool holder does the 1/4 in square shank require?
The bit has a 1/4 in square cross-section, so it fits any holder or tool post bored for a 1/4 in square shank.
How do you install the bit in a lathe tool post, and what is the common mistake?
Loosen the tool-post clamp, insert the full 2 1/2 in length until the bit seats squarely, then tighten evenly; the frequent error is leaving the bit proud, which causes chatter and poor surface finish.
