Niagara Cutter N85294 Carbide Square Nose End Mill - inch, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, Roughing and Finishing Cut, 30 Degree Helix

Description

The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. The Niagara Cutter C230 uncoated (bright) carbide square nose end mill has two flutes and a 30-degree helix angle for general-purpose machining on a range of materials. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. The tools square end creates sharp, unrounded cuts, and the center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed into the workpiece like a drill bit. The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. 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. Two-flute designs offer the efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. Non-center-cutting end mills are for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge cuts. The round shank accommodates a variety of holders. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000 to -0.002. End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles.

Key Features

• They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter.
• Two-flute designs offer the efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish.
• End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles.
• 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.
• The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications.
• The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life.
