17003597 Carbide Square Nose End Mill, Inch, TiAlN Finish, Roughing and Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 5 Flutes, 4' Overall Length, 0.313' Cutting Diameter, 0.313' Shank Diameter

Niagara Cutter uses an "extra fine" grain cemented carbide raw material that is a true sub-micron grain tungsten carbide alloy. Niagara Cutter's carbide material is classified within the C1 to C4 range, and has an excellent combination of strength and toughness. Using raw materials with unique properties and high purity ensure Niagara Cutter's consistent high quality. Specifically designed for machining Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Titanium and Exotic Alloy Materials. Niagara Cutter is a leader in cutting tool technology and is proud to have their products made in the USA.

• 45-degree helix provides efficient cutting action and chip evacuation for fine-finish peripheral milling
• Number of flutes varies; fewer flutes have more chip-carrying capacity and more flutes produce a finer finish
• Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating lubricates the end mill for high-temperature stability and abrasion resistance at high cutting speeds, offering better heat resistance than TiN and TiCN coatings
• Carbide can run at higher speeds than high-speed or cobalt steel, resisting wear and high cutting temperatures
• Eccentric primary relief on cutting edges reduces tooth breakage in difficult-to-machine material
