Titan Usa TC11216 Square End Mill 0.25in 2 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC11216 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and hard-material applications. With a 0.25 inch cutting diameter and a 0.5 inch length of cut, this two-flute end mill delivers clean, accurate edge profiles on slots, pockets, and peripheral cuts. The tool features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, which provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in high-speed ferrous cutting environments. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This end mill is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry. It is installed and operated by CNC machinists and toolroom professionals working on mills and machining centers.

The TC11216 is suited for use in job shops, production machining environments, and toolroom applications where tight tolerances are required. Its 0.25 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet systems and end mill holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. The two-flute design is well matched to slotting and full-width cuts where chip clearance is a priority. The right-hand cut, right-hand flute, upcut configuration is standard for conventional and climb milling on horizontal and vertical spindles.

Key Features

• AlTiN coating for high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled hole
• Two-flute design maximizes chip clearance in slotting and full-width cut applications
• Micrograin solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Right-hand cut, upcut flute direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.25 inch shank solid carbide square end mill compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting 0.25 inch shank tooling on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machining personnel following the toolholder manufacturer torque and runout specifications. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clean in the collet or holder before tightening to prevent runout and premature tool wear. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings match the material and coating recommendations before engaging the cut.
