End Mill for Aluminium Milling
The Cleveland C60637 is a 3-flute solid carbide square end mill with a 0.5 in milling diameter and a matching 1/2 in shank. Its uncoated substrate and straight-flute geometry are designed for high-performance material removal in aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys. The tool has a 3.125 in length of cut and 6 in overall length for deep pocketing and profiling operations.
Builders Who Need Chip Evacuation in Soft Alloys
This cutter suits CNC machinists and manual mill operators who need fast chip evacuation in soft, sticky materials where coated flutes can load up. It is not for users cutting hardened steels, titanium or abrasive composites that demand specialised coatings or different helix angles. Shops without rigid, high-speed spindles or those requiring through-coolant delivery should look at alternative tooling.
0.5 in Cutting Diameter with 3.125 in Length of Cut
The combination of a 0.5 in diameter and 3.125 in flute length defines the maximum radial engagement and axial depth available in a single pass. This reach-to-diameter ratio determines whether the tool can finish your deepest pockets without deflection or chatter. Verify that your machine spindle and workholding can sustain the required feed rates at this scale before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2 in shank fit my mill's collet?
The cutter has a 1/2 in straight shank, so it fits any standard 1/2 in ER or TG collet without an adapter.
How do I set the 3.125 in length of cut without bottoming out?
Clamp on the shank only, keep the 3.125 in flute length clear of the holder, and touch off the tip — not the shank — to set Z zero.
When should I replace this uncoated carbide end mill?
Replace it when the three cutting edges show visible rounding, chipping, or when aluminium starts to smear instead of shearing cleanly.
