Cleveland C33438 HSS End Mill

The Cleveland C33438 is a square end mill made from high speed steel with a TiN coating. It features a Weldon flat shank and is designed for general milling operations. This tool suits machinists and maintenance teams needing a reliable cutter for slotting and profiling tasks.

Upgrading from uncoated HSS cutters

Replacing an uncoated high speed steel end mill with this TiN coated version reduces friction and improves wear resistance. The jump is worthwhile when machining abrasive materials or when longer tool life between regrinds lowers overall tooling cost per part.

Practical limits of HSS tooling

High speed steel loses hardness rapidly above typical operating temperatures, limiting cutting speeds compared to carbide alternatives. The 1.75 in length of cut and .1875 in diameter suit shallow pockets but restrict deep cavity work where deflection becomes excessive. The 3/8 in shank fits standard holders but offers less rigidity than larger shank diameters.

  • 75 in cut length reaches deeper features

How do you install the Cleveland C33438 end mill and what step is often missed?

Insert the 3/8 in shank into a Weldon flat holder and tighten the set screw onto the flat; forgetting to align the flat causes slippage.
