1/4" OD x 3/8" Shank OD x 5/8" LOC x 2-1/2" OAL 3-Flute Single End Cobalt High-Speed Steel (HSS) Standard Roughing End Mill, 30° Helix, Not Specified, Ball Nose, Regular Length, TiCN Premium Grade Coating.
This 3-flute cobalt high-speed steel roughing end mill combines HSS toughness with improved hot hardness for demanding material-removal applications. The ball-nose roughing profile is suited to removing material from contoured surfaces, molds, dies, fillets, and three-dimensional features before finishing passes. Use an existing entry path for axial engagement unless the application has confirmed center-cutting capability.
The TiCN Premium Grade coating provides a hard, low-friction surface intended to improve wear resistance in suitable rough-milling applications.
