This specialized tool is designed for machinists and engineers who require sharp, square-edged cuts in deep, narrow spaces where standard tools would fail or deflect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicro Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a precise 0.5mm cutter diameter and an 8mm reach length, allowing for the creation of deep, fine slots and pockets in a single pass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e Treated with Titanium Silicon Nitride (visible as the copper-gold finish), this coating reduces friction, lowers cutting temperatures, and significantly extends tool life during high-speed operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTwo-Flute Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Optimized for efficient chip evacuation, preventing material buildup and clogging in narrow cuts typical of aluminum, copper, plastics, and soft woods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The tapered neck reduces the tool's profile below the cutting surface, preventing collisions with the workpiece or surrounding walls when machining recessed areas or stepped pockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSquare Edge Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e The flat end mill geometry creates precise 90-degree corners and vertical walls, unlike ball-nose cutters which inherently leave rounded bottoms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis end mill solves the specific challenge of machining deep, narrow features with extreme accuracy. The combination of the TiSiN coating and long neck design ensures stability and durability, even at the delicate 0.5mm diameter where tool breakage is a common risk. It is ideal for applications requiring sharp internal corners—such as mold making, jewelry manufacturing, and detailed routings—providing a clean, finished cut that minimizes the need for secondary processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227883139150,"sku":"PRO1500983","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/1_fd04094e-3a55-47e2-b784-51056a94ec63.png?v=1787755477","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-flat-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-square-edge-0-5mm-cutter-dia-x-8mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
