Cleveland C60568 5-Flute Carbide End Mill
The Cleveland C60568 is a 5-flute carbide corner radius end mill built for milling ferrous materials. It features a .5 in milling diameter and an uncoated finish for general-purpose cutting. The tool uses a straight shank design measured in inch units. This new accessory is categorised under power and pneumatic tooling.
Suited for ferrous milling with corner radius needs
Machinists profiling or slotting steel and iron alloys will benefit from the five-flute geometry and corner radius profile. The uncoated carbide substrate handles standard ferrous applications without specialised coatings. Shops requiring coated tools for high-temperature alloys or non-ferrous materials like aluminium should evaluate different tooling options.
Uncoated carbide substrate defines cutting behaviour
The absence of a coating means lower friction on certain ferrous grades but reduced heat resistance compared to coated variants. A .06 in corner radius strengthens the tool tip against chipping during heavy cuts. The 1.25 in length of cut and 3 in overall length provide reach for standard pocketing depths.

Questions about this item
What milling diameter must my machine's collet or tool holder accept to use this .5 in end mill?
The cutter has a .5 in milling diameter, so the holder or collet must grip a .5 in shank.
Can I run this 5-flute carbide tool in a manual mill that only takes high-speed steel cutters?
Yes — the straight shank fits the same holders, but carbide needs higher spindle speeds and rigid clamping to avoid chipping.
How do I verify the 0.06 in corner radius is cutting correctly after setup?
Measure the finished corner with a radius gauge or profile projector; it should match the 0.06 in radius spec.
