Titan Usa TC53502 Square End Mill 0.12in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC53502 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and composite materials. With a 0.12-inch cutting diameter and a 1-inch length of cut, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable results in finishing and light profiling passes. The three-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, making it well suited for steels, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose applications where coating is not required. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter at the spindle.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual knee mills for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The single-end design and 0.125-inch shank diameter fit standard collets and end mill holders in that bore size. The 2.5-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most shallow-pocket and contour work without sacrificing rigidity. It is typically installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shop, toolroom, or production environments.

Key Features

• 0.12-inch cutting diameter with 1-inch length of cut for precise shallow-to-mid-depth milling
• Three-flute configuration balances chip clearance and finish quality
• 30-degree right-hand helix for smooth chip flow and reduced vibration
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, upcut flute type for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production-run solid carbide square end mill for use in 0.125-inch bore collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the spindle fully stopped and the machine control in a safe, locked-out state. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer's specification before initiating any cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or cracks before each use, and discard the tool if edge integrity is compromised. Handle carbide tooling carefully to avoid impact damage to the flutes or tip.
