Cleveland C33494 2-Flute HSS High Helix Square Single End Mill

Cleveland C33494 End Mill Overview

The Cleveland C33494 is a two-flute high-speed steel end mill designed for milling operations requiring efficient chip evacuation. Its high helix angle suits non-ferrous materials and softer steels. Machinists and maintenance technicians use this square-profile cutter for slotting, profiling and pocketing tasks in general workshop environments. The Weldon flat shank provides secure clamping in standard tool holders.

TiCN Coating and Geometry Benefits

A titanium carbonitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction compared to uncoated tools. This extends tool life when cutting aluminium, brass or mild steel at moderate speeds. The two-flute design creates large chip gullets that prevent clogging during deep cuts. Together, the coating and geometry allow higher feed rates without premature wear on the 33494 model.

Build Quality and Shank Implications

The cutter is manufactured from high-speed steel with a precision-ground square end for accurate corner definition. A 0.75 inch diameter shank with a Weldon flat fits directly into matching end-mill holders, eliminating the need for collets or adapters. The 1.625 inch length of cut and 3 7/8 inch overall length provide reach for standard-depth pockets while maintaining rigidity during heavy cuts.
