Extra Long Flute Tungsten Carbide Micro End Mill (For Steel HRC55)
Tackle deep slots and thick workpieces in a single pass with our Extra Long Cutting Length (Long Flute) Micro End Mills.
Unlike standard end mills or long-neck tools (where only the shank is relieved), this series features an extended cutting flute, allowing for continuous side milling and deep slotting without step-downs. Engineered with a rigid 4mm shank and AlTiN coating, it provides exceptional stability when machining Steel up to HRC55.
Key Features & SEO Benefits
- Extra Long Cutting Length (Up to 10xD): Flute lengths extend up to 10 times the cutter diameter (e.g., 1.0mm diameter with 10mm flute), enabling the machining of thick walls and deep layers.
- High Rigidity Design: Despite the long flute, the standard 4mm shank provides the necessary base rigidity to minimize deflection and chatter.
- AlTiN Coating for HRC55: Advanced coating technology ensures high heat resistance and extended tool life in Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, and Cast Iron.
- 2-Flute Geometry: Optimized for chip evacuation in deep vertical cuts, preventing chip packing in deep slots.
Applications
- Deep Slotting: Cutting deep channels where chip evacuation from the entire depth is required.
- Side Milling (Profiling): Finishing tall vertical walls in a single pass to ensure a seamless surface finish (no step marks).
- General Steels: Suitable for P (Steel), M (Stainless), and K (Cast Iron) ISO materials.

Usage Tips for Long Flute Tools
- Deflection Warning: Long flutes are more prone to deflection than standard tools. Reduce your feed rate (F) by 20-30% compared to standard length end mills.
- Stepover (Ae): For side milling with the full flute length, keep radial engagement (Ae) low (e.g., 5-10% of Diameter) to maintain accuracy.
