Carbide Square End Mill for Hardened Steel and Alloy Metal

Square End Mill Specifications and Applications

Size and Dimensions: The square end mill features a cutting diameter of 5/8", a shank diameter also measuring 5/8", a cutting length of 1-11/16", and a total length extending to 3-1/2". It incorporates two flutes optimized for machining tasks. The cutting hardness of HRC50 ensures durability and efficiency in various applications. This end mill is designed with a square end type and operates with an upcut (right hand) cutting direction.

Wide Range of Applications: This versatile mill bit excels in creating slots such as keyways or internal grooves, as well as straight or square edge features. It is ideal for producing flat, smooth surfaces and can be used for drilling holes or performing roughing, finishing, and side milling operations. The tool is particularly suitable for machining hardened materials, cast iron, high-temperature alloys, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.

Special Coating Technology: Equipped with an Aluminum Titanium Boron Nitride (AlTiBN) coating, this square end mill combines the benefits of AlTiN and BN coatings. It offers superior thermal stability, reduces friction, and enhances wear resistance compared to traditional AlTiN coatings. The micro grain carbide construction ensures high hardness, exceptional wear resistance, improved rigidity, and excellent heat resistance in demanding machining environments.

Key Features: Precision ground cutting edges enable clean and precise cuts, contributing to accurate machining outcomes and superior surface finish. The up-cut spiral flutes efficiently lift chips upward and away from the cutting zone, promoting smoother operations. The large spiral design further aids in effective chip removal during the milling process.

Operational Tips: To optimize performance, use the square end mill on standard milling machines, CNC machining centers, and engraving machines. Ensure compatibility with the specific application and material being processed. Utilize appropriate coolant or lubrication methods to enhance tool life and machining efficiency. Select suitable feed rates and cutting speeds based on the material properties and machining requirements to achieve optimal results.

In summary, the square end mill with its robust specifications, advanced coating technology, and efficient design features offers versatility and reliability across a wide range of machining tasks. Whether used for creating precise slots, flat surfaces, or drilling operations, this tool ensures high performance and consistent results in diverse industrial applications.
