5/16" Carbide End Ball Double End 4 Flute Stub TiCN
All Atlas solid carbide end mills are manufactured in the USA with only the highest grade carbide available. This end mill has a ball end cut with a 5/16" diameter and an overall length of 2-1/2 inches (stub length). It has a double end and is center cutting. This cutter has 4 flutes, which provides a smoother finish than tools with lower flute counts and has a 30° helix that can be used for a wide range of applications. This end mill is TiCN coated. TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coating has up to 750 Degree F thermal stability. TiCN offers imporved wear resistance to abrasive, adhesive, or difficult to machine materials such as cast iron, aluminum alloys, tool steels, copper, inconel and titanium alloys. TiCN is harder and more impact resistant than TiN due to its low thermal stability, it is recommended to be used in sufficiently cooled and fabricated cuts.
