It features a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 5\/8 inch length of cut, and a 35-degree right-hand helical flute geometry across three flutes. The reduced neck design extends usable reach to 2.75 inches, allowing access to deeper pockets and stepped features without sacrificing rigidity. A ZrN (Zplus) coating reduces built-up edge and promotes clean chip evacuation in aluminum, minimizing the need for frequent tool changes. Centercutting capability supports plunge and ramping entry strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for machining aluminum alloys and other non-ferrous materials in production and job-shop environments. The reduced neck and extended reach configuration makes it well suited for deep pocket milling, cavity work, and finishing passes where a standard-length tool cannot reach. The straight 1\/2 inch shank fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders found on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with aluminum extrusions, cast housings, and structural plate will find the geometry and coating combination effective for high-speed passes at elevated surface footage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZrN (Zplus) coating reduces aluminum adhesion and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree right-hand helix promotes aggressive chip evacuation in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced neck design provides 2.75 inch reach for deep pocket access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge and ramp entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-flute configuration balances chip load and surface finish in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Ensure the shank is fully seated and the toolholder is torqued to the machine spindle manufacturer specification before running. Verify runout with a dial indicator before engaging the workpiece, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on carbide tooling. Always confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut before beginning a cut cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6250 inches (5\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5000 inches (4-1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches (1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7500 inches (2-3\/4 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: ZrN (Zplus)\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.397 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 81394\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51734992027954,"sku":"81394","price":198.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2b8b3d0b97733bef3a8b25536af6904_a3b45f9e-d1a1-428d-a38a-b1ceb6d0a9bf.jpg?v=1788768977","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-81394-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
