Cleveland 60489 End Mill
The Cleveland 60489 is a 0.375 inch carbide square end mill designed for milling aluminium. Its two-flute geometry and uncoated finish promote efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials. The tool features a straight shank measuring 3/8 inch in diameter.
Machinists Cutting Aluminium
This cutter suits machinists and fabricators producing slots, pockets or profiles in aluminium alloys where a square corner is required. The non-coolant-through design limits use on machines without through-spindle coolant delivery. Buyers needing extended reach or a necked shank for deep cavities should look at alternative tooling.
Verify Shank And Clearance
Confirm your tool holder accepts a 3/8 inch straight shank before ordering. Check that the 1 inch length of cut and 2 1/2 inch overall length provide sufficient reach without holder interference. Ensure your machine programme matches the two-flute geometry for correct feed and speed calculations.

Questions about this item
What milling machine spindle or collet size do I need to hold the 3/8 in shank on this Cleveland 60489 end mill?
The cutter has a straight 3/8 in shank, so your machine must accept that diameter directly or through a matching collet or end-mill holder.
Will the 1 in length of cut on this 0.375 in carbide mill reach the full depth of an existing 1/2 in thick aluminium workpiece?
Yes, the 1 in flute length exceeds the 1/2 in material thickness, giving full engagement without bottoming out the shank.
How can I confirm the uncoated carbide flutes are cutting cleanly in aluminium after the first pass?
Look for a smooth, silver finish with continuous chips and no built-up edge on the cutting edges.
