Titan Usa TC25842 Square End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC25842 is a single-end square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metal-cutting applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide, it provides the rigidity and edge retention needed for aggressive material removal. The tool features a 1/2-inch cutting diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 38-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation. An AlCrO-MAX coating adds heat and oxidation resistance, extending tool life in high-speed and dry-cutting conditions. Five flutes with a variable index geometry reduce harmonic chatter, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills used in job shops, production floors, and toolrooms. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it a standard choice for conventional and climb milling operations. Its upcut flute geometry and centercutting capability allow it to be used for slotting, profiling, and plunge cutting. A 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and shrink-fit toolholders common across most CNC setups.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for high rigidity and wear resistance
• AlCrO-MAX coating provides oxidation and heat resistance for extended tool life
• Five flutes with variable index geometry to reduce chatter and improve surface finish
• 38-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design enables plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators in standard 1/2-inch collet, ER, or shrink-fit toolholders. Ensure the toolholder and spindle are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Follow machine tool manufacturer torque specifications when clamping the toolholder. Verify runout with a dial indicator before production cutting to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
