Cleveland C60646 Carbide End Mill
The Cleveland C60646 is a 3-flute carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in aluminium and similar non-ferrous materials. Its uncoated carbide substrate provides sharp cutting edges and efficient chip evacuation. This single-end tool suits CNC machinists and fabricators who need reliable material removal rates in softer alloys.
Upgrading from general-purpose tooling
Replacing standard high-speed steel or basic carbide cutters with this geometry reduces built-up edge and improves surface finish in aluminium. The jump is worthwhile when cycle times are constrained by chip welding or when tighter tolerances are required on non-ferrous parts. It addresses the limitations of multi-purpose cutters that struggle with sticky materials.
Check shank compatibility and clearance
Verify that your tool holder accepts a 1 in shank diameter and that the machine spindle provides sufficient rigidity for a 5 in overall length. Confirm the 2 in length of cut matches your programmed depth of cut without exceeding the flute length. Ensure coolant strategy suits a non-coolant-through design.

Questions about this item
What size tool holder or collet is required for the 1 in shank on this end mill?
Use a holder or collet sized exactly to the 1 in shank diameter; a matching 1 in bore is needed for a secure grip.
How should the uncoated carbide cutter be loaded to avoid run-out?
Seat the shank fully into the holder, tighten the collet or set screws evenly, and verify concentricity before starting the cut.
When will the three cutting edges need to be resharpened or the tool replaced?
Resharpen or replace when flank wear reaches the normal limit for carbide, typically after the tool shows dull edges or poor finish in aluminium.
