Titan Usa TC53501 Square End Mill 0.12in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC53501 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise material removal in milling applications. With a 0.12-inch cutting diameter and a 0.6-inch length of cut, it handles slotting, profiling, and contouring operations in tight geometries. The three-flute configuration balances chip evacuation with cutting stability, making it well-suited for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Micrograin carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance across demanding cuts. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces vibration. This is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with an uncoated bright finish, run by machinists and toolroom professionals on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

The TC53501 is intended for use in precision machining environments where small-diameter end mills are required. Its 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders common to CNC mills and high-speed machining centers. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry, adding flexibility to the tool path. It is appropriate for production machining, tool and die work, mold making, and prototype machining where tight tolerances on fine features are required.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention
• Three flutes with upcut flute direction for efficient chip removal
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and vibration
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle operation
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of base materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or tool holder. Verify collet size matches the 0.125-inch shank diameter before tightening to avoid runout or tool pullout during operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
