Niagara Cutter N61477 Carbide Square Nose End Mill - inch, TiCN Finish, Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 2 Flutes, 6x22 Overall Le

Description

The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed straight into the workpiece like a drill bit. Center-cutting end mills can make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. The two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes while offering additional support when the tool goes deep into the material in applications with a high depth of cut. End mills are designed to remove material and create three-dimensional shapes or profiles. A wiper flat on the cutting edges provides a smoother finish to the workpiece than conventional end mills. The round shank accommodates a variety of holders. The number of flutes typically ranges from two to eight. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. The TiCN coating offers the increased hardness and abrasion resistance required to machine aluminum and other nonferrous materials compared to uncoated end mills. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000 to -0.002.
