Cleveland C33365 Ball End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Hss Ticn

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C33365 is a single-end ball end mill designed for milling contoured surfaces, cavities, and radiused profiles in metal and other rigid materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a TiCN (titanium carbonitride) coating that extends tool life by reducing friction and improving wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. The tool features four flutes with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix angle, a 0.5 inch milling diameter, and a 2 inch length of cut. It is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals operating CNC mills, manual knee mills, and similar machine tools.

The C33365 is suited for finishing and semi-finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where a ball nose profile is required. The 0.5 inch shank diameter provides solid gripping in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. With a 5 inch overall length and 2 inch length of cut, this tool handles moderate-depth pockets and contoured 3D surfaces without sacrificing rigidity. It belongs to the CLEVELAND HG-4B series, a line built for general-purpose high speed steel ball end milling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-change procedures for the specific machine in use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the holder to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
