This one is ground from solid carbide with a full-radius ball nose, and cuts 1\/4\" diameter on a 1\/4\" shank, with 3\/8\" of flute and 2-1\/2\" overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of cut (LOC):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length (OAL):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ball End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 414\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HTC Mfg.","offers":[{"title":"99003 \/ TC \/ AlTiN","offer_id":39795149537466,"sku":"99003","price":43.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/9796\/1325\/products\/spoon-cutter-ball-end-altin-z3-99003.png?v=1792018368","url":"https:\/\/fmcarbide.com\/products\/99003","provider":"FM Carbide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
