Titan Usa TC53473 Square End Mill 5/64 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC53473 is a single-end square end mill ground from solid micrograin carbide and designed for precision milling in metal, composite, and engineering-grade plastic applications. The cutter measures 0.0780 inches (5/64 inch) in diameter with a 5/8 inch length of cut and a 2.5 inch overall length. The 1/8 inch shank seats securely in standard collet systems. A 30-degree right-hand helix combined with three upcut flutes promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge. The bright, uncoated finish makes edge condition easy to inspect after use. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on small-feature geometry will find this cutter well suited to their requirements.

This end mill is intended for small-bore slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Its 5/64 inch diameter makes it appropriate for fine-detail work such as narrow slots, tight-radius contours, and miniature part features common in aerospace, medical device, and precision instrument manufacturing. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole, expanding its use in multi-axis setups. The single-end configuration means the cutter is replaced rather than indexed when the working end is worn.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• Three upcut flutes with a 30-degree right-hand helix for positive chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry permits direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating variability to account for in tight tolerance work
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and other collet systems widely available in the trade
• Single-end design — 2.5 inch overall length provides ample tool holder clearance for most setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/8 inch collet or end mill holder tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine in a full stop and the spindle locked. Ensure the collet and holder bore are clean and free of chips before seating the shank to the full recommended engagement depth. Verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping — excessive runout on a cutter this diameter accelerates edge wear and risks tool breakage. Always confirm feed rate and spindle speed settings are appropriate for the workpiece material before initiating a cut.
