Cleveland C41648 Square End Mill 1-1/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C41648 is a square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from high speed steel, this 2-flute tool measures 1.125 inches in diameter with a 1.625-inch length of cut and a 4.5-inch overall length. The bright, uncoated finish suits a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Part of the HG-2 series, the C41648 features a 30-degree helix angle and right-hand cutting and flute direction, making it a reliable choice for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on manual and CNC mills. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary installers and operators.

This end mill is suited for use in job shops, production floors, and toolrooms handling ferrous metals, aluminum, and plastics. The 1-inch shank diameter fits standard ER or Weldon-style toolholders common to knee mills and machining centers. The 2-flute geometry provides good chip clearance in slotting applications where chip evacuation is a priority. Regular-length classification means this tool fits standard reach applications without extended overhang.

Key Features

• 1.125-inch milling diameter for medium-to-large material removal passes
• 2-flute spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during slotting
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• High speed steel construction offers toughness and regrindability
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials
• Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry into the workpiece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use square end mill for standard 1-inch shank toolholders on manual knee mills, vertical machining centers, and CNC milling machines handling medium-duty cutting applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists or toolroom technicians using appropriate milling toolholders rated for the 1-inch shank diameter. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the minimum insertion depth before locking. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to prevent premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
