This tool is purpose‑built for repeated, accurate pockets and shoulders. The 3‑flute geometry provides smooth cutting and efficient chip clearance, while the 30° helix and 12° rake optimize cutting action in a range of materials. The powder‑metallurgical HSS‑E substrate, combined with the Alcrona Primax coating, offers enhanced wear resistance and extended tool life under typical machining conditions. The flatted Weldon shank ensures secure clamping and precise alignment, reducing runout in challenging setups.
