RobbJack TS-201 2-flute stub length Tuffy grade carbide end mill

Stub-length Tuffy grade square end mills in 2, 3, and 4 flute — short, rigid general-purpose cutters offered in five coating options.

  • Square end stub-length Tuffy grade carbide in three flute counts: TS-201 (2 flute), TS-301 (3 flute), TS-401 (4 flute), all with 30° helix
  • Stub flute lengths for rigidity — e.g. 1/4" diameter carries only a 1/2" flute length on a 2" OAL
  • Inch sizes 1/16"–3/4" (2 and 4 flute; 3 flute runs 1/16"–1/2"); metric MTS-401 4 flute covers 2–20 mm
  • Five coating options across the line: Uncoated, TiN, TiCN, AlTiN, and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) — ordered by suffix (-T, -C, -A, -DLC)
  • 2 and 3 flute rated for slotting, side milling, and helical interpolation; 4 flute optimized for side milling
  • Broad material range: aluminum, copper, titanium, magnesium, cast iron, steel, brass (plus wood on 2/3 flute)
  • High-performance roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing — dry, wet, cold air, or spray mist
  • Tolerances: cutting dia +.000/−.002 (1/16"–1/4") and +.000/−.003 (5/16"–3/4"); shank −.0001/−.0002; MTS cutting dia +.000/−.075 mm

Recommendations are computed starting points based on typical conditions — not guarantees of performance, tool life, or fitness for your application. Machining involves inherent risk: you are solely responsible for safe operation, for verifying every parameter against your machine, spindle, toolholding, workholding, and guarding limits, and for proving all parameters on a test cut before production. RobbJack Corporation assumes no liability for tool breakage, machine damage, scrapped parts, production loss, or personal injury arising from use of these recommendations. By using this calculator you accept RobbJack's Terms & Conditions.
