Featuring a 1mm cutter diameter and a 26mm reach, this micro-tool allows access to deep, confined areas within molds and intricate parts that standard end mills cannot reach, making it suitable for detailed contouring and die sinking.\n\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e The tool features a titanium silicon nitride coating, visible as a bronze finish, which provides a hard, heat-resistant surface that reduces friction and extends tool life when machining steel and cast iron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Reach \u0026amp; Neck Design:\u003c\/b\u003e With a 26mm reach and 1mm cutting edge, this tool utilizes an elongated, reduced-diameter body geometry that accesses deep pockets and narrow slots without interference from the tool shank or surrounding material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBall Nose Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The rounded tip ensures smooth finishing on contoured surfaces and allows for plunge cutting, ideal for 3D profiling and finishing curved mold details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimized with two flutes for effective chip evacuation in deep cuts, reducing the risk of material build-up and ensuring reliable performance throughout the long 26mm cutting distance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\nThis end mill addresses the challenge of machining deep, fine details in tight spaces. The long neck design allows the cutting edge to reach deep features up to 26mm while keeping the tool body clear, making it highly suitable for applications in mold making, watchmaking, and precision prototyping. The combination of the TiSiN coating and ball nose tip helps maintain sharpness and deliver high-quality surface finishes on complex geometries over extended production runs.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227915481166,"sku":"PRO1501088","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/2_489abe06-668d-436a-a65b-622139dd26cf.png?v=1787756031","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-ball-nose-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-1mm-cutter-dia-x-26mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
