Designed for reliable performance in demanding milling tasks, this end mill excels at creating smooth 3D contours, pockets, fillets, and other intricate features. The cobalt-based HSS‑E construction maintains edge hardness under heat, delivering longer tool life when cutting tougher materials. The 30° helix and 12° rake optimize chip evacuation and cutting efficiency, helping minimize built‑up edge and improve surface finish. A 10 mm Weldon shank ensures a secure, repeatable grip in standard end-mill holders, while the DIN 844 K specification guarantees compatibility with common tooling setups. Ideal for engineers and machinists performing copy milling, pocketing, and contouring in free‑machining steel and copper alloys.
