Cleveland C61028 2-Flute Carbide Crn Rad Single End GP End Mill

Cleveland C61028 End Mill

The Cleveland C61028 is a 2-flute carbide corner-radius end mill designed for general-purpose milling tasks. It features a 0.25 in milling diameter and a 0.03 in corner radius for specific profiling needs. The tool is uncoated and built with a straight shank configuration. This new accessory suits machinists and fabricators working with standard inch-based tooling setups.

Best for general-purpose milling

This cutter suits operators needing a 0.25 in diameter tool with a tight 0.03 in radius for finishing passes or tight internal corners. It is not intended for buyers who require a coated tool for extended life in abrasive or high-heat materials. Shops needing a different flute count, a larger diameter, or a ball-nose profile should look at alternative cutters. The uncoated carbide substrate limits performance in certain high-speed or high-temperature applications.

Straight shank fits standard inch collets

Installation involves securing the straight shank into a compatible collet, end-mill holder, or shrink-fit chuck sized for the shank diameter. Ensure the tool is clamped firmly with minimal overhang to reduce vibration during cutting. Common issues include premature wear if run without proper coolant or feed rates, and chatter if the holder or workpiece rigidity is insufficient. The uncoated surface may gall in sticky materials like aluminium without lubrication.
