In use, the combination of powder-metallurgically enhanced HSS-E and the Alcrona coating delivers durable wear resistance and reliable performance under heavy cutting loads. The 6-flute design supports efficient chip evacuation for higher material removal rates, while the 35° helix and 12° rake angle help maintain smooth cutting action and good surface quality on shoulders and ramps. The flatted shank and substantial reach (64.5 mm neck relief) enable secure engagement in longer reach applications without sacrificing rigidity, making this end mill a versatile choice for demanding roughing tasks across diverse materials. DIN 844 K compatibility ensures it fits standard toolholders and setups, supporting quick changes in busy workshops.
