Square End Mill for Finishing
The Cleveland HG-2-TC is a general-purpose square end mill made from high-speed steel with a TiCN finish. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a right-hand cutting tool for finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The fractional 3/4 inch diameter and two-flute design provide a balance of chip clearance and surface quality.
Installation and Common Issues
The straight shank matches the 3/4 inch cutting diameter for direct holder fitment. Ensure the toolholder runout is minimal to prevent premature wear or chatter during the 1-5/16 inch length of cut. Improper speeds or insufficient coolant often cause the TiCN coating to degrade faster than expected.
Practical Limits of HSS Tooling
High-speed steel offers toughness but lower hot hardness than carbide, limiting sustainable cutting speeds in abrasive alloys. The 30-degree helix angle supports standard finishing passes rather than aggressive roughing strategies. A corner radius of .000 inches leaves a sharp corner that may require secondary deburring on critical parts.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the end mill is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for a smooth, chatter-free finish on the workpiece and measure the cut dimensions against the 3/4 in. milling diameter and 1-5/16 in. length of cut specifications.
What accessories are included with the HG-2-TC end mill and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the single-end High Speed Steel tool with TiCN finish and 3/4 in. shank; a compatible tool holder, collet, or milling machine arbor must be sourced separately.
Which finish or flute configuration should I select for general-purpose finishing tasks?
Choose the TiCN-coated, 2-flute version with 30-degree helix angle and 0.000 in. corner radius listed under HG-2-TC for finishing applications.
