Vortex Long Neck Ball Nose 2 Flute End Mill - TiSiN Coated - 0.5mm Cutter Dia x 4mm Reach

The Vortex Long Neck Ball Nose End Mill is a precision micro-cutter engineered for detailed 3D contouring and deep pocket machining. Combining a 0.25mm cutting diameter with a 4mm reach, this tool allows CNC operators and machinists to access tight, deep features in molds and dies that standard end mills cannot reach without the shank colliding with the workpiece.

• TiSiN Coating: Finished with a Titanium Silicon Nitride (TiSiN) coating, the copper-colored surface provides high wear resistance and heat protection, extending the tool's lifespan during cutting operations.
• Long Neck Geometry: The tool features a tapered shank (long neck) that steps down to the 0.25mm diameter. This 4mm effective reach allows the cutting edge to reach deep into material while keeping the larger holding shank clear of the work area.
• 2-Flute Ball Nose Profile: The rounded ball tip (0.125mm radius) ensures smooth surface finishes on curved surfaces, while the two flutes are optimized for efficient chip removal in this micro-diameter tool.
• Precision Dimensions: Manufactured to tight tolerances at 0.25mm width, it is ideal for intricate engraving, die sinking, and milling non-ferrous metals and soft alloys.

This end mill solves the challenge of machining deep, fine details where space is restricted. The long neck design prevents the tool holder from interfering with the cut, enabling full utilization of the 4mm reach. The TiSiN coating ensures the tool maintains its sharpness longer, making it an efficient choice for production runs requiring high accuracy and surface finish on materials like aluminum, copper, and plastics.
