Titan Usa TC21836 Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC21836 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.5-inch cutting diameter, 1-inch length of cut, and four flutes in a right-hand upcut configuration, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes on a range of workpiece materials. The 38-degree helix angle supports aggressive material removal while reducing cutting forces. An AlCrO-MAX coating provides elevated thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed and high-heat applications. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals on CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for precision milling operations in job shops, production facilities, and toolrooms. Its variable index geometry helps reduce chatter and vibration during cuts, making it appropriate for profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The centercutting capability allows for plunge entries. It is single-end and intended for use in standard end mill holders or collet chucks matching the 0.5-inch shank diameter.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlCrO-MAX coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip flow
• Variable index flute spacing reduces harmonic chatter during machining
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpieces
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNC milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.5-inch shank end mill via collet chuck or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated per shop safety procedures. Ensure the collet or holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank to the full depth of engagement. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping before beginning a cut. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.
