With a 1\/4 inch (0.25 inch) mill diameter and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool promotes aggressive chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces, making it well-suited for high-speed machining applications. The bright, uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry on softer materials. The overall length is 3 inches, with a 1-inch length of cut and a 1\/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank. It is centercutting, allowing plunge operations in addition to peripheral and slot milling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines where aluminum, plastics, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials are common. The 3-flute geometry balances chip clearance with surface finish, making it a practical choice for finishing passes as well as moderate material removal rates in aluminum. Machinists in job shops, aerospace fabrication, and general manufacturing will find this tool fits standard toolholders with 1\/4 inch collets or end mill holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute design balances chip clearance with improved surface finish compared to 2-flute alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish preserves sharp edge geometry on soft, gummy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement end mill compatible with standard 1\/4 inch collet chucks, hydraulic toolholders, and end mill holders used in CNC and manual milling applications for aluminum and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a locked-out, de-energized state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to protect tool life and workpiece accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.064 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HELICAL SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731839713586,"sku":"03180","price":63.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d0ded1ec042d8d06474acec05e3d16e_a8cb427d-d9ed-4ebb-a19f-6c972097377f.jpg?v=1788735472","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-03180-square-end-mill-1-4-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
