Combining a microscopic 0.2mm cutter diameter with an advanced 1mm long neck design, this 2-flute tool allows CNC operators to machine deep, narrow slots in hardened materials where standard end mills cannot access.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e The titanium silicon nitride coating provides a durable, copper-gold finish that resists heat and reduces friction, significantly extending tool life when cutting stainless steel or hardened alloys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e Featuring a 1mm cutting reach on a 0.2mm diameter body, this extended neck design allows machining in confined spaces and deep pockets, reducing tool deflection and chatter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e The hemispherical cutting end enables smooth finishing of 3D contours, engraving, and creating radii in complex molds and dies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimized flutes ensure efficient chip evacuation from the narrow cutting zone, preventing debris buildup and ensuring clean cuts during high-speed CNC operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Shank:\u003c\/b\u003e The long cylindrical shank offers a secure grip in collets, ensuring stability during delicate micro-machining processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis end mill solves the common problem of tool breakage in deep, narrow cuts. By offering a reach length five times the cutter diameter, it enables machinists to carve deep features without the delicate 0.2mm tool bending. The TiSiN coating handles high temperatures generated when cutting hardened steel, ensuring consistent performance. It is essential for mold making, watch component manufacturing, and jewelry casting where fine details must be replicated accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227897032782,"sku":"PRO1501039","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_50ec853c-1f0e-4a85-b5ee-3083ed9ef317.png?v=1787755755","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-2mm-cutter-dia-x-1mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
