Designed with a compact 1.5mm cutter diameter and a specialized long neck geometry, it allows machinists to access tight recesses and complex features that standard end mills cannot reach without collision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a 1.5mm cutter diameter with a 12mm reach, providing a balance of fine detail and penetration depth for precision machining tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e Coated with Titanium Silicon Nitride (TiSiN), appearing as a metallic copper-gold finish. This layer increases surface hardness, reduces friction, and extends tool life during high-speed cutting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The tool features a tapered neck that reduces the diameter at the cutting point, preventing interference with the workpiece or tool holder when cutting deep into pockets or grooves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2 Flute Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with two helical flutes to ensure efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and ensuring a smooth surface finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e The rounded cutting end enables continuous, unbroken tool paths, minimizing tool marks and creating polished, contoured surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis end mill addresses tool deflection and collision risks in deep, narrow features. The long neck design maintains stability at the cutting edge, while the specialized coating withstands heat generated during aggressive cuts. It is suited for machining various metals and alloys where high precision is required in confined spaces, such as mold bases and aerospace components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227915841614,"sku":"PRO1501090","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_6386e6d9-0398-48ce-aa07-a17236e18e10.png?v=1787756043","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-1-5mm-cutter-dia-x-12mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
