3/16" Spoon Cutter - Ball End. Single End with 35 Degree Helix. Shank OD 3/16" - LOC 5/16" - OAL 2" - 3 Flutes for Stainless Steel machining. AlTiN Coated

3/16" Spoon Cutter, ball end, single end, 35° helix, 3 flutes, AlTiN coated.

A spoon cutter is a single-end mill with a gashed, spoon-shaped end. This one is ground from solid carbide with a full-radius ball nose, and cuts 3/16" diameter on a 3/16" shank, with 5/16" of flute and 2" overall.

Where the rest of the spoon cutter line runs a 45° helix for aluminum, this series runs 35° with a third flute. The lower helix angle puts more steel behind the cutting edge and the extra flute spreads the load — the combination HTC specifies for stainless steel.

The AlTiN coating forms an aluminum-oxide layer under heat, which is what lets it hold up in the high temperatures stainless generates at the edge.
