Titan Usa TC17508 Square End Mill 0.125in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC17508 is a 4-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 0.125 inch cutting diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and 3 inch overall length, this tool delivers tight tolerances in slotting, profiling, and finishing passes. The micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A 30-degree helix angle and right-hand upcut flute geometry promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup during extended cuts. This end mill ships uncoated with a bright finish.

The TC17508 is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where small-diameter, close-tolerance work is required. Typical applications include die and mold work, prototype machining, and finish milling of slots and pockets. The 0.125 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders used in light-duty to medium-duty milling setups. It is well matched to shops working aluminum, brass, mild steel, and similar materials at appropriate feeds and speeds for 1/8 inch carbide tooling.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge retention
• 4 flutes with 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting action and chip clearance
• Right-hand cut, right-hand upcut flute direction for conventional milling setups
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• 0.125 inch shank diameter matches standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inch shank square end mill compatible with CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines equipped with ER or DA collets or end mill holders accepting 0.125 inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the minimum recommended insertion depth in the collet or tool holder and torque the retaining nut per the tool holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout will reduce tool life significantly on small-diameter carbide end mills.
