Niagara Cutter N62024 Carbide Square Nose End Mill - inch, TiAlN Finish, Roughing and Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 5 Flutes, 6

Description

The round shank accommodates a range of tool holders. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. This tool is designed for peripheral finishing. Cutting edges have an eccentric primary relief feature that provides better support than a flat relief, reducing tooth breakage in difficult-to-machine materials. Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the company is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed straight into the workpiece like a drill bit. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. It also offers increased hardness compared to TiN and may reduce the need for lubricants based on the application. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. The 45-degree helix provides increased cutting action and chip evacuation compared to end mills with lower helix angles, as it moves excess material quickly up the spiral and away from the workpiece. The number of flutes can range from two to eight.

Key Features

• End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles.
• Niagara Cutters S545 TiAlN-coated carbide square nose end mill has a 45-degree helix angle for fine-finish peripheral milling on difficult-to-machine materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.
• The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life.
• The number of flutes varies; fewer flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity, while more flutes produce a finer finish.
• Cutting edges have an eccentric primary relief feature that provides better support than a flat relief, reducing tooth breakage in difficult-to-machine materials.
• The 45-degree helix provides increased cutting action and chip evacuation compared to end mills with lower helix angles, as it moves excess material quickly up the spiral and away from the workpiece.
