Hot Picks NIAGARA N61997 5/16″ Size, 13/16″ LOC, 5 Flute, AlTiN Solid Carbide Square End Mill

5 Flute Single End Mill with Higher Helix Angle For Smooth Finish. Elite series S545 TiAlN-coated, or Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) carbide single end mill is general-purpose machining with five flutes design and a 45-degree helix angle. The tool’s flat end creates sharp, unrounded cuts. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, thus fed into the workpiece like a drill bit. The higher 45-degree helix angle wraps faster and allows for less deflection and more stability in thin-wall applications. End mills have cutting edges along the outside diameter and the flutes. It is designed such that the chips are removed while cooling fluids enter easily. The end mill’s five flutes give a finer finish, efficient chip evacuation than two flute designs. The Titanium Aluminum Nitride, TiAlN, or AlTiN, trademarked coating resists heat better than other coatings, increasing tool finish and life. It further reduces the need for lubricants based on the application. The tool material made up of solid carbide (industrial steel) is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel. Solid carbide makes the tool more wear-resistant at high speeds. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000 inch to -0.002 inch. The shank is the end of the tool and the round shank accommodates a variety of holders. The tool is available in 22 different sizes ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch. The overall length of S545 series type single end mills are available in 9 different lengths ranging from 1-1/2 to 6 inches. Niagara Cutter has specialized in designing and manufacturing end mills, cutting mills, and saws, since 1954. The company is based in New York and has manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. This allows the company to serve its customers in a variety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.

Benefits

• Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles.
• Solid carbide provides for better rigidity than high-speed steel.
• Higher helix angle of 45° wraps faster and optimized for smooth finish applications.
• Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating provides higher feeds, speeds, and tool life.
• The coating allows the tool to be used in extremely heat-resistant, high-speed applications involving wet, semi-dry to dry cutting conditions.
