Titan Usa TC12612 Square End Mill 3/16 in 4 Flute Altin Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC12612 is a 4-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.1875-inch cutting diameter and a 0.5-inch length of cut, it handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. A 30-degree helix angle and micrograin carbide substrate deliver clean chip evacuation and edge stability. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with vertical or horizontal machining centers.

This end mill suits production and job-shop environments where tight tolerances and surface finish quality matter. The 0.375-inch Weldon flat shank provides positive drive retention in compatible side-lock holders, reducing pullout risk under aggressive feed rates. The double-end configuration and right-hand cut with upcut flute direction make it well suited for conventional and climb milling passes on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials. Overall length is 3.25 inches, giving adequate reach for most standard workholding setups without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• 0.1875-inch (3/16 inch) cutting diameter with 0.5-inch length of cut
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Weldon flat shank (0.375 inch) for secure side-lock holder retention
• Right-hand cut, upcut flute direction, centercutting capable

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 0.375-inch Weldon flat side-lock toolholders or collet systems accommodating a 3/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a side-lock or collet-style toolholder rated for a 0.375-inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Align the Weldon flat with the set screw in the holder and torque the set screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tools can fail unpredictably when run with damaged edges.
