Titan Usa TC12608 Square End Mill 1/8 in 4 Flute Carbide Altin

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC12608 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 0.1250-inch cutting diameter, a 0.375-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with an AlTiN coating for improved heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. The four-flute, right-hand cut configuration with an upcut flute direction supports efficient chip evacuation. The Weldon Flat shank provides positive tool retention in standard end mill holders. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC operators working on milling machines and machining centers.

The TC12608 is suited for milling ferrous metals, hardened steels, and other demanding materials where AlTiN coating performance is required. Its double-end design and centercutting capability make it appropriate for slotting, profiling, and plunge operations. The 0.375-inch shank diameter fits standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders commonly found on vertical and horizontal milling machines. This tool is a practical choice for production shops and tool rooms requiring small-diameter carbide end mills with extended reach potential and consistent geometric tolerances.

Key Features

• 0.1250-inch (1/8 inch) cutting diameter with 0.375-inch length of cut
• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life
• 30-degree helix angle with upcut flute direction for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Weldon Flat shank for secure seating in standard end mill holders

Compatibility

Fits standard 3/8-inch end mill holders and collet chucks on vertical milling machines, horizontal mills, and CNC machining centers accepting a 0.375-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the end mill. Seat the Weldon Flat shank fully in the holder before tightening the set screw to the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before commencing the cut.
