Carbide Square End Mill for Stainless Steel and Titanium TiAlN Coated, 1/8" Mill

GUHRING
With a wear-resistant coating and high helix angle, these end mills provide excellent shearing and chip removal in stainless steel and titanium. Made of solid carbide, they are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel end mills for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. The coating allows them to dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, it creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. End mills have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

End mills with three flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts.
