Built with a specialized 5mm reach and TiSiN coating, it is designed for machinists requiring dimensional accuracy when working with confined spaces and fine geometries.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a 5mm slender reach that allows the cutting edge to access deep, narrow pockets and confined vertical cavities that standard end mills cannot reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coated Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e The titanium silicon nitride coating provides effective heat resistance and reduces cutting friction, extending tool life during rapid milling of tough alloys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The rounded 0.25mm cutter diameter creates smooth, continuous contours without sharp corners, suitable for 3D profiling, mold finishing, and fine detail work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2 Flute Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e The optimized spiral flute geometry ensures efficient chip evacuation and prevents recutting, maintaining a clean cut surface and reducing tool deflection at tight feed rates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nThis specialized end mill streamlines your CNC workflow by eliminating the need for multiple tool changes when finishing deep pockets and intricate contours. The combination of the 0.25mm tip and extended reach ensures that operators can achieve strict tolerances and smooth surface finishes on complex geometries without sacrificing tool rigidity. It is an essential component for micro-milling, die sinking, or detailed engraving where standard tools fail to reach the workpiece.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227906764878,"sku":"PRO1501048","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_cc23f713-8b25-41ab-95fa-2e200f681ae1.png?v=1787755806","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-25mm-cutter-dia-x-5mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
