Helical Solutions 01572 Square End Mill 5/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HELICAL SOLUTIONS 01572 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling of aluminum and non-ferrous materials. With a 5/8-inch mill diameter, 1-5/8-inch length of cut, and a 35-degree right-hand helix, this single-end tool is built to clear chips efficiently and maintain tight tolerances in demanding aluminum applications. The Zplus (ZrN) coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in non-ferrous cuts. It is used by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC machining centers and manual mills where aluminum removal rates and finish quality are the priority.

This end mill is suited for residential and commercial machine shops, aerospace component work, and general fabrication environments where aluminum and non-ferrous stock is the primary workpiece material. The 5/8-inch straight shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. With a 3-1/2-inch overall length and helical flute geometry, it provides reach and chip evacuation without sacrificing rigidity. It is a single-end tool sold individually.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in aluminum milling
• Zplus (ZrN) coating reduces friction and built-up edge on non-ferrous materials
• 35-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 3-flute geometry balances chip load and surface finish in aluminum
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry
• Straight shank fits standard collet and end mill holder systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard 5/8-inch collet chucks or end mill holders. Optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials as part of the Helical Solutions End Mills for Aluminum 3-Flute Square 35-degree Helix series.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine power isolated. Secure the straight shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended gauge-line depth before torquing the retention mechanism. Inspect the tool and holder interface for runout before initiating a cut. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and shop safety procedures when setting speeds and feeds for carbide tooling in aluminum.
