Titan Usa TC15412 Square End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC15412 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) mill diameter, a 3/4 inch length of cut, and a 2-1/2 inch overall length. The cutter is ground from micrograin carbide stock and finished with an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. Three flutes with a 30-degree right-hand helix deliver efficient chip evacuation and a clean surface finish in moderate to aggressive cutting conditions. This is a single-end, centercutting tool capable of plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling.

The TC15412 is suited for CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills running ferrous alloys, stainless steel, cast iron, and hardened steels where an AlTiN coating provides a performance advantage. The 3/16 inch diameter makes it a practical choice for narrow slot work, small-profile contouring, and detail milling on dies, molds, and precision components. The right-hand upcut flute geometry promotes chip clearance away from the workpiece surface, reducing recutting in blind slots and pockets.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat resistance and longer tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 3-flute geometry balances chip room with surface finish quality
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth cutting action and upward chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Single-end configuration with a 3/16 inch straight shank for standard collet chuck mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/16 inch ER or straight-bore collet chucks. Suitable as a direct replacement or upgrade end mill in CNC and manual milling applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter, 3-flute square end tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool holder specification before running. Inspect the collet bore and shank for chips or contamination before seating to prevent runout. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during tool changes and setup.
