Cobalt End Mill 1/2" 2 Flute

This Cleveland cobalt end mill has a 1/2 inch diameter with two flutes and a centre-cutting design. The overall length is 3-1/4 inches. It is supplied new for general milling applications.

For machinists needing a short, rigid cutter

The shorter length reduces deflection and breakage risk during slotting or profiling. It is not suited for deep-pocket work that requires a longer reach or for operations demanding higher flute counts for finer finishes.

Fits standard 1/2" tool holders

The shank matches common collets and end-mill holders, allowing quick changes in a CNC or manual mill. The centre-cutting geometry lets you plunge directly into material without a pre-drilled starter hole.

Questions about this item

What size collet or tool holder do I need for the 1/2 inch shank?

You need a holder that accepts a 1/2 inch diameter shank, such as a 1/2 inch collet, end mill holder, or Weldon flat holder compatible with your machine spindle.

Can the 2-flute center-cutting geometry plunge into a pre-drilled hole in softer aluminium without chatter?

Yes, the two-flute center-cutting design allows direct plunging into aluminium; use the shortest 3-1/4 inch overall length possible and keep feed rates conservative to reduce vibration.

How can I confirm the cutter is running true after mounting it in the spindle?

Run the spindle at low speed and check for run-out at the flute tips with a dial indicator; a clean, chatter-free slot cut in a test piece also confirms proper engagement.
