Titan Usa TC17516 Square End Mill 0.25in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC17516 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metal, composites, and engineering plastics. With a 0.25-inch cutting diameter, 1.5-inch length of cut, and 4-inch overall length, this tool fits standard quarter-inch collets and tool holders. The four-flute, right-hand cut geometry with a 30-degree helix angle delivers efficient chip evacuation and a smooth finish on a wide range of workpiece materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides wear resistance and rigidity suited to both roughing and finishing passes in conventional CNC and manual milling setups.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling in job shops, production machining environments, and toolrooms. The upcut flute direction pulls chips away from the cutting zone, reducing re-cutting and heat buildup. The bright, uncoated finish makes it a cost-effective choice for applications where coating is not required or where regrinding is planned. It is a single-end tool, center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece when required by the operation.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Four flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow and finish quality
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut with upcut flute direction reduces chip re-cutting
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for regrinding and general-purpose use
• Quarter-inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production square end mill for standard quarter-inch collet chucks and end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before tightening. Ensure the spindle is at a complete stop and the machine is powered down or in an e-stop state before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm proper seating before beginning a cut.
