Titan Usa TC17520 Square End Mill 5/16 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC17520 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and other hard materials. With a 0.3125 inch (5/16 inch) cutting diameter, 1.625 inch length of cut, and 4-inch overall length, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in a wide range of CNC and manual machining applications. The micrograin carbide substrate delivers hardness and wear resistance suited for demanding cuts. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose use across a variety of workpiece materials.

This end mill fits standard 5/16 inch tool holders and collets, making it a straightforward drop-in for most vertical machining centers, CNC routers, and knee mills. The upcut flute geometry pulls chips upward and away from the cut zone, which is beneficial in through-pocket and through-slot operations. It is a single-end tool intended for right-hand spindle rotation. Machinists, tool-and-die shops, and job shops running ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this a practical general-purpose cutter for production or prototype work.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life
• 0.3125 inch (5/16 inch) cutting diameter with 1.625 inch length of cut
• 4 flutes for improved surface finish and feed-rate capability
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Upcut, right-hand flute direction suits through-slot and pocket operations
• Bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose multi-material use
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 5/16 inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling systems on vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an energy-isolated state before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the minimum recommended engagement depth in the holder and torque set screws or collet nuts per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.
