Niagara Cutter SLRC602 High-Speed Steel End Mill, General Purpose, Extra Long Reach, Uncoated (Bright), 4 Flutes, Square End, 1" Cutting Length, 3/8" Cutting Diameter Reviews
Niagara Cutter SLRC602 High-Speed Steel End Mill, General Purpose, Extra Long Reach, Uncoated (Bright), 4 Flutes, Square End, 1" Cutting Length, 3/8" Cutting Diameter Feature
- Extra-long-reach tools provide reach beyond those of standard-length end mills
- Four flutes produce a better finish than fewer flutes
- High-speed steel is compatible with a variety of materials
- Uncoated (bright) tools have no additional surface treatment or coating for use on a broad range of materials
- Square nose end mills (also called square end) create sharp, unrounded cuts
The Niagara Cutter SLRC602 uncoated high-speed steel extra-long-reach square nose end mill has four flutes and a 30-degree helix for creating sharp, unrounded cuts in a wide range of materials. Extra-long-reach end mills provide greater access to recessed areas of the workpiece than standard-length tools. Four flutes produce a better finish than fewer flutes. The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications. It balances lower angles’ strong cutting edge for difficult-to-machine materials with higher angles’ increased cutting action.
High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials. The tool’s square end has straight cutting edges that create sharp, unrounded cuts. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed into the workpiece like a drill bit. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.001" to -0.000". The tool has a Weldon shank.
End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tool’s cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Non-center-cutting end mills are for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge cuts.
Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. 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. This allows the company control over production, from substrate to coating, which is essential for customers in a variety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.
