Cleveland C60487 Carbide End Mill Square .3125 in 2.125 in LOC

Cleveland C60487 End Mill

The Cleveland C60487 is a carbide square end mill built for general milling tasks. Its 0.3125 inch cutting diameter and 2.125 inch length of cut suit slotting and profiling in a range of materials. The uncoated carbide substrate handles ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces without coating-specific limitations. Machinists needing a straight-shank tool for standard milling operations will find this cutter fits the requirement.

Upgrade from worn or coated tools

Replace dull high-speed steel cutters when edge life drops and cycle times rise. Switch from coated carbide when the coating chemistry limits material choice or causes built-up edge on sticky alloys. The uncoated geometry eliminates coating-delamination risk and works across steel, aluminium and plastic without restriction. The jump is worth it when tool changes are frequent or when a single cutter must cover mixed-material jobs.

Check shank and clearance first

Verify the machine spindle or holder accepts a 5/16 inch straight shank before ordering. Confirm the 4 inch overall length clears fixtures, workholding and tool-changer envelopes on your machining centre. Ensure the 2.125 inch flute length reaches the full depth of cut without the shank contacting the workpiece. No coolant-through passages exist, so external flood or mist delivery must reach the cutting zone.
