2" OD x 2" Shank OD x 8" LOC x 11-3/4" OAL 6-Flute Single End High-Speed Steel (HSS) Finishing End Mill, 30° Helix, Center-Cutting Status Not Specified, Ball Nose, Standard Length, Positive-Lock Style, TiN-V Coating.
This 6-flute high-speed steel (hss) finishing end mill uses a 30° helix and standard length construction for accurate, controlled milling. The ball-nose profile is suited to contoured surfaces, fillets, molds, dies, and three-dimensional finishing passes. Use an existing entry path for axial engagement unless the application has confirmed center-cutting capability. 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 TiN-V coating provides a hard, low-friction surface for general finishing applications.
