3" OD x 2-1/2" Shank OD x 4" LOC x 7-5/8" OAL 8-Flute Single End High-Speed Steel (HSS) Finishing End Mill, 30° Helix, Non-Center Cut, Square End, Standard Length, Positive-Lock Style, Bright Finish (Uncoated).
This 8-flute high-speed steel (hss) finishing end mill uses a 30° helix and standard length construction for accurate, controlled milling. The square-end geometry is suited to finishing slots, pockets, shoulders, side walls, and flat-bottom features. The non-center-cutting geometry is intended for side milling and requires an existing entry path for axial engagement. This tool is identified in the source specification as Positive-Lock Style.
High-speed steel provides toughness and resistance to chipping for general machining, repair work, interrupted cuts, and setups that benefit from a forgiving cutting edge.
The bright, uncoated finish provides a direct cutting edge for general finishing where an added coating is not required.
