The TiSiN coating provides a durable, low-friction surface ideal for machining aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a 1.5mm cutter diameter with a 6mm cutting reach, creating a 4:1 length-to-diameter ratio suitable for deep, narrow details and micro-machining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTiSiN Coating:\u003c\/b\u003e The titanium silicon nitride coating, appearing as a copper finish, reduces friction and heat buildup to extend tool life during high-speed cutting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e2-Flute Design:\u003c\/b\u003e The helical flute geometry is optimized for chip evacuation from the small cutting zone, preventing clogging and ensuring a clean surface finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLong Neck Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e The tapered shank allows the cutting tip to reach depths that standard end mills cannot, minimizing the risk of the tool body colliding with the workpiece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSquare Edge Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e The flat bottom face and vertical cutting edges produce sharp, precise corners for step milling, pocketing, and profiling operations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis end mill addresses the need for accessing deep pockets with small-diameter tools in soft metals. With a cutting length of 6mm and a diameter of only 1.5mm, it is designed for intricate 2.5D contouring where deflection is a concern. The TiSiN coating reduces friction, which is critical when working with sticky materials like aluminum to prevent built-up edge. The 2-flute configuration balances stability and chip clearance, making it effective for both roughing and finishing passes in non-ferrous alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vortex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227890544718,"sku":"PRO1501009","price":10.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/3747\/4382\/files\/1_4982cf96-08a2-4a9d-93ed-296a8aa25f68.png?v=1787755601","url":"https:\/\/www.protool-ltd.co.uk\/products\/vortex-long-neck-flat-2-flute-end-mill-tisin-coated-square-edge-1-5mm-cutter-dia-x-6mm-reach","provider":"Protool Precision Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
