Cleveland Golf HG2TC 5/8 in End Mill
This TiCN-coated high-speed steel end mill features a 5/8 inch milling diameter and two flutes for finishing operations. The square end design with a 30-degree helix angle suits general-purpose milling tasks. Right-hand cutting direction and a single-end configuration complete the tool profile. It is intended for machinists and fabricators working with fractional-inch specifications.
Installation Notes for HG2TC End Mill
The 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard tool holders and collets matching that size. Ensure the holder provides adequate grip length for the 3-3/4 inch overall tool length. A common issue is insufficient clamping force leading to tool pull-out during finishing passes. Verify the machine spindle runs true to prevent chatter at the 1-5/16 inch length of cut.
Pre-Order Checks for TiCN Finishing Tool
Confirm your machine accepts a 5/8 inch straight shank with a 30-degree helix cutter. The zero corner radius requires precise tool-path control to avoid workpiece marking. Check that the TiCN coating is compatible with your workpiece material and coolant strategy. Buyers needing ball-nose profiles or roughing geometries should select a different tool style.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the end mill is cutting correctly after setup?
Check for smooth chip evacuation and a consistent surface finish on the workpiece; the 30-degree helix angle and right-hand cutting direction should produce clean cuts without chatter.
What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the single-end TiCN-coated HSS end mill with a 5/8-inch shank; you must provide a compatible tool holder, collet, and workpiece material.
Which HG2TC variant should I choose for finishing operations?
Select this 5/8-inch diameter, 2-flute square-end version with a 1-5/16-inch length of cut and .000 corner radius for general-purpose finishing in fractional-inch dimensions.
