Designed for micro-machining applications, this 0.5mm cutter combines a 4mm reach with a TiSiN coating to access tight recesses while maintaining durability and sharpness during high-speed operations.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e The titanium silicon nitride coating provides superior hardness and thermal stability, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life when cutting non-ferrous metals and composites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Featuring a 4mm reach below the reduced neck, this tool allows deep cavity milling and access to recessed areas without the main shank interfering with the workpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The two-flute design maximizes chip flute volume relative to the small cutter size, ensuring efficient chip evacuation critical for machining soft, gummy materials like aluminum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e The rounded cutting edge enables smooth finishes on contoured surfaces, fillets, and complex organic shapes that flat end mills cannot produce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically ground to a 0.5mm cutter diameter, ensuring exact tolerances for fine detail work in CNC routing and milling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nThis end mill is optimized for CNC machining of aluminum, copper, and composite materials where fine detail and deep access are required. The long neck geometry prevents tool collision in deep pockets, solving the common problem of standard end mills being too thick to reach into deep, narrow features. The durable TiSiN coating maintains edge strength, ensuring consistent surface finishes and reducing tool replacement frequency in high-precision production runs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227910336590,"sku":"PRO1501064","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_5511cf4c-7994-47ea-bbce-c2825d81c6e2.png?v=1787755892","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-0-5mm-cutter-dia-x-4mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
