Titan Usa TC10017 Square End Mill 0.2656 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC10017 is a solid carbide, two-flute square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.2656 inch (17/64 inch) cutting diameter and a 0.75 inch length of cut, this end mill delivers clean, flat-bottomed cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing heat buildup at the cutting edge. The bright, uncoated finish makes this tool well suited for applications where coating interference or heat sensitivity is a concern.

This end mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and similar machine tool setups where a small-diameter square end mill is required. The 0.3125 inch (5/16 inch) shank fits standard ER and end mill holders common in production and job shop environments. The 2.5 inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard pocket, slot, and profile milling operations without excessive overhang. It is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with an upcut, right-hand flute configuration, making it compatible with conventional climb and conventional milling passes on standard spindle setups. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working in light to medium-duty applications will find this a straightforward, reliable general-purpose option.

Key Features

• 0.2656 inch (17/64 inch) cutting diameter with 0.75 inch length of cut
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Two-flute design suited for slotting and general milling in a range of materials
• Right-hand cut, upcut flute configuration for standard spindle use
• Centercutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating additives that could affect dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/16 inch end mill holders, ER collet chucks, and similar toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. No specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked or e-stop state. Confirm that the 0.3125 inch shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the tool holder per the holder manufacturer specifications before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use, as micrograin carbide is rigid but brittle under lateral shock. Follow your facility safety standards and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
