Titan Usa TC23331 Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC23331 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for high-performance milling in demanding shop environments. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, and a 4-inch overall length. The tool carries an AlCrO-MAX coating, which is designed to improve heat resistance and extend tool life in abrasive or hard-material applications. With four flutes and a 38-degree helix angle, it promotes efficient chip evacuation and surface finish quality. This end mill is a single-end tool with a 1/2 inch straight shank, made from micrograin solid carbide stock. It is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals running CNC or manual mills on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

The TC23331 is appropriate for use in production machining, tool and die work, mold making, and general-purpose contouring or profiling operations. The variable index flute geometry helps reduce chatter during aggressive cuts. Its centercutting capability allows for direct plunge entry into the workpiece. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. This end mill is well suited for job shops and manufacturing facilities running tight-tolerance work where coating performance and carbide substrate quality directly affect output.

Key Features

• AlCrO-MAX coating for enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and edge retention
• 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Variable index flute geometry minimizes chatter and vibration
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard CNC and manual mill compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch straight shank end mill holder, collet, or shrink-fit toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the toolholder manufacturer before torquing the retention mechanism. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use, as carbide end mills are brittle and should not be dropped or contacted with hard surfaces during handling.
