Cleveland C33208 Square End Mill 17/32 in 4 Flute Hss Tin

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C33208 is a square-end, single-end milling cutter designed for precision material removal in metalworking and machining operations. Built from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it provides increased surface hardness and wear resistance compared to uncoated tooling. The cutter measures 17/32 inches (0.5313 inches) in diameter with a 1-3/8 inch length of cut and a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank that also accommodates a Weldon flat. It runs a 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration at a 30-degree helix angle, producing efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. This tool is centercutting, allowing plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting.

The C33208 is suited for milling operations on cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel in job shop, production machining, and maintenance environments. The HG-4C series designation places this tool in a regular-length class, making it appropriate for standard-reach slotting, profiling, and face milling passes where a rigid setup is maintained. The 3-3/8 inch overall length keeps deflection manageable at this diameter. Machinists and CNC operators working on manual mills, knee mills, and machining centers will find this cutter a direct fit for common work-holding setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank in a collet chuck, end mill holder, or Weldon-style side-lock holder rated for the 1/2 inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle and tool holder are clean and free of chips before seating the cutter. Set appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and confirm all guards and work-holding devices are secured before initiating a cut.
