The tool is designed to deliver steady material removal and reliable wear life. The NRA geometry helps break chips efficiently in deep cavities, while the Alcrona coating reduces friction and extends tool life under high loads. The combination of powder-metallurgical HSS-E substrate and a robust 4-flute design provides a balanced blend of aggressive cutting and controlled finishing, making it well-suited for high-volume production environments or precision-heavy components alike. The 35° helix and 12° rake angle further support effective shoulder milling and slot milling in a wide range of steels and alloys, with DIN 844 L compatibility ensuring secure integration into standard tooling systems.
