Eagle Cutting Tool TFZ-25216-ET Cobalt Universal Cutter

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TFZ-25216-ET is a cobalt universal cutter designed for demanding metal removal applications in professional machining and fabrication environments. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, this end mill delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling, making it well suited for cutting harder workpiece materials without sacrificing edge life. The cutter features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter and a 2 inch length of cut, giving machinists meaningful reach for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. It is installed and run by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking professionals on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines alike.

This cutter is appropriate for use in both job shop and production environments where a versatile, general-purpose end mill is needed across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The universal geometry supports a variety of milling applications including side milling, full slot cutting, and contour work. With a 1/2 inch shank diameter, it fits standard collet systems and end mill holders common across most milling setups. The IMP designation in the raw title indicates imperial dimensioning, confirming this tool is sized to standard inch specifications.

Key Features

• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for enhanced heat resistance and extended tool life versus standard HSS
• 1/2 inch cutting diameter suited for medium-duty slotting and profiling
• 2 inch length of cut provides reach for deeper cavity and slot work
• Universal cutter geometry supports multiple milling applications in a single tool
• Imperial dimensioning for direct fit with standard inch collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production end mill compatible with standard 1/2 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines using imperial tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware according to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before use and confirm runout is within acceptable limits for the intended operation.
