Niagara Cutter N61477 Carbide Square Nose End Mill - inch, TiCN Finish, Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 2 Flutes, 6x22 Overall Le

Description

The round shank accommodates a variety of holders. End mills are designed to remove material and create three-dimensional shapes or profiles. The TiCN coating offers the increased hardness and abrasion resistance required to machine aluminum and other nonferrous materials compared to uncoated end mills. 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 number of flutes typically ranges from two to eight. 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. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. Its 45-degree helix angle offers increased cutting action compared to end mills with lower helix angles, as it moves excess material quickly up the spiral and away from the workpiece. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000 to -0.002. A wiper flat on the cutting edges provides a smoother finish to the workpiece than conventional end mills. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. Center-cutting end mills can make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit.

Key Features

• The Niagara Cutter A245 TiCN-coated carbide square nose end mill has two flutes, a wiper flat, and a 45-degree helix, making it suitable for high-performance, fine-finish cuts on aluminum and other nonferrous materials.
• The TiCN coating offers the increased hardness and abrasion resistance required to machine aluminum and other nonferrous materials compared to uncoated end mills.
• A wiper flat on the cutting edges provides a smoother finish to the workpiece than conventional end mills.
• The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life.
• End mills are designed to remove material and create three-dimensional shapes or profiles.
• The two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes while offering additional support when the tool goes deep into the material in applications with a high depth of cut.
