Micro Corner Radius End Mill Long Neck 4 Flute For Steel
Product Function
This Tungsten Carbide Micro Corner Radius End Mill features a specialized Long Neck (Deep Reach) design with 4 Flutes, specifically engineered for high-precision machining of steel materials.
The "Micro Corner Radius" geometry combines the advantages of a square end mill and a ball nose end mill. It prevents chipping at the cutter tip (common in square mills) while offering better flat-surface finishing than ball mills. The "Long Neck" design resolves the challenge of machining deep ribs, slots, and cavities without shank interference, ensuring superior rigidity and minimizing tool deflection compared to standard long-flute cutters.
Product Features
- Material: Premium Micro-Grain Tungsten Carbide substrate ensures high wear resistance and toughness.
- Design: 4-Flute geometry provides excellent surface finish and chip evacuation in steel applications.
- Geometry: High-precision Corner Radius (R0.1 / R0.2) protects the cutting edge and extends tool life in hardened materials.
- Long Neck: A wide range of effective lengths (4mm to 25mm) allows for deep cavity machining while maintaining tool strength.
- Coating: Advanced coating (e.g., TiSiN/AlTiN) for heat resistance and dry machining capabilities.
- Tolerance: Strictly controlled diameter and radius tolerance for mold and die making.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main advantage of a Corner Radius over a Square End Mill?
A1: The corner radius (R0.1/R0.2) strengthens the cutting tip, significantly reducing the risk of chipping, especially in harder steels. It also provides a smoother finish on mold floors compared to sharp corners.
Q2: How do I choose the correct Effective Length (Neck Length)?
A2: Always choose the shortest effective length that can clear your feature depth. Shorter necks are more rigid and allow for faster cutting speeds.
Q3: Can these tools machine hardened steel above HRC 55?
A3: While these are optimized for general steel and alloy steel, we have specific coating upgrades available for High Hardness Steel (HRC 55-65). Please contact us for details.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes not listed in the table?
A4: Yes! As a manufacturer, we can produce custom dimensions (different neck lengths or radii) with a quick turnaround time.
