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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Ball Nose Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured to tight tolerances at 0.25mm width, it is ideal for intricate engraving, die sinking, and milling non-ferrous metals and soft alloys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227906568270,"sku":"PRO1501047","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_81960bc8-3c89-48be-8f53-66f37523175c.png?v=1787755796","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-25mm-cutter-dia-x-4mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
