Cleveland C81022 0.203125 in Carbide Square End Mill

Cleveland C81022 Carbide Square End Mill

The Cleveland C81022 is a 2-flute carbide square single-end mill designed for general-purpose milling. It suits machinists and fabricators who need a rigid tool for slotting, profiling and plunge cuts in a variety of materials. The TiAlN coating adds wear resistance for longer tool life. Buyers who need a ball-nose profile or a larger cutting diameter should select a different tool.

Sustained load behaviour

Carbide construction maintains edge integrity during extended cutting passes without the deflection common in high-speed steel. The 0.625 in length of cut allows deeper engagement per pass, reducing the number of passes required. Two flutes provide efficient chip evacuation in slotting operations, preventing chip packing that can degrade surface finish. Continuous feed rates remain stable when coolant or air blast is used.

Thermals noise and power

The TiAlN coating reduces friction at the cutting interface, lowering heat generation in the workpiece and tool. Carbide’s high thermal conductivity draws heat away from the cutting edges during normal milling cycles. No external cooling system is mandated, though flood coolant or mist further reduces thermal load. The solid shank transmits vibration directly to the holder, so rigid clamping minimises chatter.
