Niagara Cutter N61477 Carbide Square Nose End Mill - inch, TiCN Finish, Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 2 Flutes, 6x22 Overall Le

Description

Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. The number of flutes typically ranges from two to eight. 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. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The Niagara Cutter A245 TiCN-coated carbide square nose end mill has two flutes, a wiper flat, and a 45-degree helix, making it suitable for high-performance, fine-finish cuts on aluminum and other nonferrous materials. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Its 45-degree helix angle offers increased cutting action compared to end mills with lower helix angles, as it moves excess material quickly up the spiral and away from the workpiece. The TiCN coating offers the increased hardness and abrasion resistance required to machine aluminum and other nonferrous materials compared to uncoated end mills. End mills are designed to remove material and create three-dimensional shapes or profiles. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. The round shank accommodates a variety of holders.

Key Features

• The two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes while offering additional support when the tool goes deep into the material in applications with a high depth of cut.
• A wiper flat on the cutting edges provides a smoother finish to the workpiece than conventional end mills.
