Ground from high speed steel (HSS) stock and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tool delivers improved surface hardness and wear resistance compared to uncoated HSS. The 0.5-inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1-inch length of cut and a 0.375-inch straight-cylindrical shank with Weldon flat. A 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel in conventional CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The HG-3 series designation places it in a regular-length category, appropriate for face milling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations where reach is not a limiting factor. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow standard spindle conventions. Typical users include machinists running production runs or prototype work on steel and aluminum components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with TiN coating for extended tool life over uncoated HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge milling without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle with spiral flute geometry for effective chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank with Weldon flat for secure collet or end mill holder retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute — compatible with standard CNC and manual spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular length classification keeps deflection low in typical depth-of-cut applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit standard 3\/8-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and Weldon-flat set-screw holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully in the holder and engage the Weldon flat set screw squarely against the flat to prevent axial pullout under load. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting when tolerances are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical with Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: HG-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CLEVELAND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C39681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CLEVELAND CONTROLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692896944434,"sku":"C39681","price":107.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d05c33f51b14ed4a5e8310d8d51782d1.jpg?v=1788304671","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/cleveland-c39681-square-end-mill-0-5in-3-flute-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
