Cleveland C32434 Drill Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Hss Uncoated

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C32434 is a high speed steel drill mill designed for combination drilling and milling operations in a single tool. With a 1/2 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 90 degree point angle, this tool bores center holes and mills lateral features without a tool change. The 30 degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation during both plunge and peripheral cutting. It is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where operators need versatile cutting performance from a single end mill form.

The C32434 is used in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and CNC milling machines for applications requiring combined drilling and end milling in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The uncoated high speed steel construction makes it a straightforward choice for general-purpose shop use and is compatible with standard re-sharpening services. It is typically installed by machinists and toolroom technicians handling prototype work, fixturing, or general milling operations.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch mill diameter with matching 1/2 inch shank for direct installation in standard collets and end mill holders
• 90 degree point angle enables center drilling and plunge cutting without a separate drill operation
• 1 inch length of cut accommodates moderate depth milling and drilling passes
• 30 degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting load
• Right hand cut and right hand flute direction for use with standard spindle rotation
• Uncoated high speed steel construction is compatible with conventional re-grinding

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill mill for use in standard 1/2 inch collets, end mill holders, and drill chucks on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using an appropriate collet or end mill holder rated for the 1/2 inch shank diameter. The spindle must be fully powered down and the machine locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the first cut. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures for speeds and feeds.
