The number of flutes varies;\nfewer flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity, while more flutes produce\na finer finish. The TiCN coating lubricates the end mill for high-temperature\nstability, and provides more hardness and abrasion resistance than the TiN\ncoating. The cobalt steel substrate can be run at faster speeds and stays\nsharp longer than high-speed steel tools, while offering greater resistance to\nheat and abrasion. The 30-degree helix angle offers general-purpose machining.\nIt balances lower angles’ strong cutting edge for difficult-to-machine\nmaterials with higher angles’ increased cutting action. The ball end creates\ncontoured surfaces where sharp edges are not required. The center-cutting\ndesign has cutting teeth at the end of the tool. It can be fed straight into\nthe workpiece like a drill bit for plunge cutting, and used for applications\nsuch as slotting and profiling. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.001” to\n-0.000”. The end mill has a Weldon shank. End mills are designed to remove\nmaterial and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles. They have cutting\nedges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting\narea and allow cooling fluids to enter. If heat is not reduced effectively,\nthe tool’s cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur.\nThe number of flutes can range from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the\nmost efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The\nshank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine.\nCenter-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and\nmake plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Non-center-cutting end mills are for\napplications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge\ncuts. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting\ntools since 1954. Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the\ncompany is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in\nPennsylvania and Massachusetts. This allows the company control over\nproduction, from substrate to coating, which is essential for customers in a\nvariety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e4 Flute design for creating finer finishes and creating a higher metal removal rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eGeneral purpose end mill for working on all types of materials and high temperature alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCobalt steel tools are similar to high-speed steel, but with more cobalt for improved performance when cutting harder metals such as stainless steel or nickel alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTitanium Carbonitride(TiCN) allows for optimal end mill and machine tool performance with it's ability to increase material removal rates 3 to 5 times that of uncoated tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eCenter Cutting End Mills are designed with \"End Teeth\" making these ideal for applications such as profiling, contour and slotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Niagara Cutter","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 in","offer_id":44288644055220,"sku":"B00438R9YA","price":241.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9906\/1172\/files\/B00438R9YA.jpg?v=1784621569","url":"https:\/\/auspowers.com\/products\/n67345-cobalt-steel-ball-nose-end-mill-weldon-shank-ticn-finish-roughing-and-finishing-cutting-30-degree-4-flute-3-oal-0-500-cut-diameter-0-500-shank-diameter-1-2-in","provider":"AusPower Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
