Titan Usa TC25838 Square End Mill 5/16 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC25838 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. Built with five flutes and a 38-degree helix angle, it is engineered to improve chip evacuation and surface finish in ferrous and hard materials. The AlCrO-MAX coating provides oxidation resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. At 0.3125 inches in diameter with a 0.8125-inch length of cut and 2.5-inch overall length, this end mill fits standard toolholding for finish and semi-finish milling passes. Machinists and CNC operators running production or job-shop work install this tool in machining centers and CNC mills.

This end mill is suited for ferrous metals, stainless steels, hardened materials, and other applications where a high-flute-count, coated carbide tool is required. The variable index geometry reduces harmonic chatter during cut, making it appropriate for aggressive material removal and fine finishing. The right-hand cutting, right-hand flute, upcut flute design is compatible with standard vertical and horizontal milling setups in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 5-flute design for increased feed rates and improved surface finish over 4-flute tools
• 38-degree helix angle improves chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• AlCrO-MAX coating provides high oxidation resistance for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• Variable index flute spacing reduces chatter and vibration during milling
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry into the workpiece
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-grade solid carbide end mill for use in standard 5/16-inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
