Cleveland C60152 Roughing End Mill 1/2 Inch 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C60152 is a solid carbide roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built to the CEM-RS series specification, this single-end tool features four flutes with a fine pitch and a right-hand cutting direction, producing smaller chips and reducing vibration during heavy cuts. The sub-micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding production environments. With a 1/2-inch mill diameter and a stub-length configuration, the C60152 is well suited for rigid setups where minimizing deflection is a priority. It is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with milling machines and machining centers.

The C60152 is applicable across a wide range of metal removal applications in both job shop and production settings. The stub flute length of 1/2 inch keeps the tool compact and rigid, making it effective for face milling, shoulder milling, and roughing passes where chatter control is critical. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating is not required. This tool is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece where the operation demands it.

Key Features

• Solid sub-micrograin carbide construction for extended tool life under high material removal rates
• Four-flute fine pitch design reduces chip load per tooth and minimizes vibration
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge milling where needed
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard milling machine spindle compatibility
• Stub length configuration improves rigidity and reduces deflection in tight setups
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1/2-inch collets, end mill holders, or shrink-fit tooling systems on vertical and horizontal milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before inserting or removing the tool. Verify runout and tool projection before initiating any cut. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds guidelines for the workpiece material being machined.
