Cleveland C60649 Carbide End Mill 2 Flute .0625 .1875

Cleveland C60649 Carbide End Mill

The Cleveland C60649 is a two-flute carbide end mill built for general-purpose milling tasks. It suits machinists and hobbyists who need a small-diameter cutter for slotting, profiling or finishing in a variety of materials. The uncooled, straight-shank design keeps the tool simple for manual or CNC operations. It is not intended for high-volume production runs that demand specialised coatings or coolant-through capability.

0.0625 inch cutting diameter

The decisive specification is the 0.0625 inch milling diameter paired with a 0.1875 inch length of cut. This combination determines the minimum feature size and maximum depth per pass you can achieve. The 1/8 inch shank fits standard collets and holders, while the 1 1/2 inch overall length provides adequate reach for shallow pockets. Select this tool only when your geometry matches these exact dimensions.

Straight shank, no coolant hole

Installation is straightforward: clamp the 1/8 inch shank in a precision collet or end-mill holder and ensure minimal run-out. Because the tool lacks coolant-through channels, chips must be evacuated by air blast or external flood coolant. The most common issue is tool breakage from excessive feed rates or insufficient chip clearance in deep slots. Reduce engagement and monitor chip load to avoid snapping the small carbide flutes.
