Titan Usa TC17033 Square End Mill 0.5in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC17033 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and hard materials. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter with a 3 inch length of cut (LOC) and a 6 inch overall length (OAL), making it well suited for deep-pocket and extended-reach applications where rigidity matters. The micrograin carbide substrate provides wear resistance and edge retention across demanding cutting cycles. With a 30-degree helix angle and 2-flute geometry, this end mill is optimized for chip evacuation in slotting and peripheral milling. It ships bright and uncoated, ready for use in dry or light-lubricant environments. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments are the primary users.

This end mill is suited for use on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a 0.5 inch shank is standard. The 2-flute design provides generous gullet space for chip clearance in full-slot cuts and deep-cavity work. Right-hand cut and right-hand upcut flute direction are standard configurations compatible with conventional spindle rotation. Applications include profiling, slotting, contouring, and step milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3 inch LOC accommodates workpieces and fixture setups that require extended engagement depth beyond what a standard-length end mill can reach.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for improved hardness and edge retention
• 0.5 inch cutting diameter with matching 0.5 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder fitment
• 3 inch length of cut supports deep-pocket and extended-reach milling
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation
• 2-flute geometry with upcut right-hand flute direction for full-slot and profiling operations
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating delamination risk; suitable for re-sharpening
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 0.5 inch collets, end mill holders, or Weldon-style tool holders with a 0.5 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer specification before running. Inspect the tool holder bore and collet for wear or contamination before seating. Always verify spindle direction and feed-rate programming before initiating a cut to avoid tool breakage or workpiece damage.
