Cleveland C41635 Square End Mill 7/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C41635 is a 2-flute, square-end, single-end mill machined from high speed steel (HSS) and designed for metal removal in general-purpose milling applications. It carries a 0.875-inch cutting diameter, a 1.5-inch length of cut, a 0.625-inch straight-cylindrical shank with Weldon flat, and a 4-inch overall length. The 30-degree helix and spiral flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation. This tool arrives uncoated and is ready to run as-is or accept an aftermarket coating. It is sized for use in standard milling machine spindles and CNC machining centers commonly found in job-shop and production environments.

The C41635 is rated for cutting cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel, making it a versatile choice for toolroom work, fixture machining, and production runs on both manual and CNC knee mills and vertical machining centers. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material without pre-drilling. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration suit standard spindle rotation. This tool belongs to the Cleveland HG-2 Series, a line of general-purpose HSS end mills intended for shops that need reliable performance across a range of work materials.

Key Features

• 0.875-inch cutting diameter with 1.5-inch length of cut for moderate-depth slotting and peripheral milling
• High speed steel construction withstands heat buildup at conventional cutting speeds without coating
• 30-degree helix spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• Centercutting design permits direct plunge milling without pilot hole
• 0.625-inch straight-cylindrical shank with Weldon flat for secure collet or set-screw holder retention
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for use in standard clockwise-rotation spindles

Compatibility

Compatible with cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and steel workpieces as identified in the HG-2 Series specification. Fits any milling machine or machining center spindle that accepts a 0.625-inch shank end mill via collet, end mill holder, or Weldon-style set-screw holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician using a collet chuck or Weldon-style end mill holder sized for a 0.625-inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the drawbar is secured before changing tooling. Verify tool runout with a dial indicator after seating to confirm concentricity. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures for speeds, feeds, and clamping forces appropriate to HSS tooling.
