Featuring a specialized long neck design with a 10mm reach and a micro 0.4mm cutting diameter, this TiSiN-coated two-flute end mill delivers exceptional accuracy in tight, hard-to-reach areas.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e The titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN) coating provides a hardened, heat-resistant surface that reduces friction, minimizes built-up edge, and extends tool life during aggressive cutting operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e With a 10mm reach and a progressively tapered neck, the tool avoids side-wall collisions, allowing safe access to deep features, narrow channels, and undercuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2 Flute Ball Nose Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e The two-flute design with a precise 0.4mm cutter diameter ensures smooth chip evacuation and delivers fine surface finishes on complex ball-nose profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGround Cylindrical Shank:\u003c\/b\u003e The straight, dimensionally stable shank ensures secure clamping, minimal runout, and reliable chatter resistance in standard collets or ER chuck holders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nThis end mill solves the common challenge of tool deflection and workpiece collision when machining deep cavities with micro-diameter cutters. The combination of the extended neck and durable TiSiN coating allows machinists to perform high-speed 3D surfacing, detailed engraving, and contouring on metals, hardened alloys, and engineering plastics without sacrificing surface finish. It is specifically optimized for mold and die making, medical device manufacturing, and micro-machining applications where reaching deep features while maintaining strict 0.4mm diameter tolerances is critical.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227910139982,"sku":"PRO1501063","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_353342d9-6c10-4e00-a6e0-5546cecc9962.png?v=1787755888","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-4mm-cutter-dia-x-10mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
