Cleveland C32220 Square End Mill 0.5 in 4 Flute Tin

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C32220 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal-cutting environments. Built from powdered metal (PM) high-speed steel, this end mill delivers consistent hardness and wear resistance across the cutting edge. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 2 inch length of cut (LOC), and a 0.5 inch straight shank. The TiN (titanium nitride) coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this geometry for slotting, profiling, and shoulder milling in both manual and CNC setups.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual bridgeport-style machines. The 4-flute configuration provides a strong core and good surface finish on steel, cast iron, and aluminum alloys. A 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction makes this a standard-orientation tool compatible with conventional spindle rotation. Coarse pitch spacing supports general metalworking applications where chip clearance and rigidity are priorities.

Key Features

• Powdered metal construction for consistent hardness and wear resistance
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting tool life
• 4 flutes with coarse pitch for strong core rigidity and surface finish
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard orientation for conventional spindle use
• Single-end design with 0.5 inch straight shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for 0.5 inch straight-shank end mill holders, ER collets, and Weldon-style tool holders used in vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque set screws to the tool holder specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut — excessive runout shortens tool life and degrades surface finish.
