The combination of a long-series geometry with a 3-flute design offers steady progress through deeper features while maintaining clean slots and shoulders. The cobalt-based HSS-E composition provides improved heat and wear resistance, extending tool life under typical free-machining steel and copper alloy milling conditions. Neck relief and a generous reach enable you to access deeper pockets and slots in a single setup, reducing the need for tool changes and increasing productive time. The flatted shank and Weldon mounting deliver secure clamping and minimize tool deflection during heavy cuts, helping you achieve precise shoulders and accurate slot dimensions. This DIN 844 L-end mill is a dependable, versatile choice for precision milling in a busy workshop environment.
