Titan Usa TC11973 Square End Mill 0.4331in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC11973 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding machining environments. It features a 0.4331-inch cutting diameter, a 0.9843-inch length of cut, and a 0.4724-inch shank diameter. The four-flute, single-end configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. An AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. The micrograin carbide substrate adds toughness and wear resistance, making this end mill well-suited for high-speed and high-feed applications in professional CNC machining.

This end mill is intended for use in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual mills where a square-profile cut is required. It is center-cutting, allowing direct plunge entry into workpieces. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction with an upcut geometry make it compatible with conventional and climb milling strategies. It is used in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments by machinists working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The fixed helix and fixed index design deliver consistent, predictable cutting performance.

Key Features

• 0.4331-inch cutting diameter with 0.9843-inch length of cut for medium-depth milling
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 30-degree helix angle with upcut flute direction for efficient chip removal
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC and manual mill setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit solid carbide end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.4724-inch shank diameter toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit holder to the appropriate clamping depth. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the material being cut.
