Helical Solutions 83710 Square End Mill 3 Flute 0.1875 in Aluminum

Product Description

The HELICAL SOLUTIONS 83710 is a single-end, square-profile solid carbide end mill engineered for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3-flute design with a 45-degree helix angle, a reduced-neck geometry for extended reach, and a ZrN (Zplus) coating optimized for non-ferrous applications. The mill diameter is 0.1875 inches, the length of cut is 0.2188 inches, and the overall length is 3.0000 inches. The reduced neck and extended reach design allows access to deeper features without sacrificing rigidity. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and aerospace or fabrication environments.

This end mill is intended for use in aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. The 45-degree helix promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing built-up edge and heat generation common in aluminum machining. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1875 inches in diameter, compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The reduced-neck geometry with a reach length of 1.3120 inches makes it well-suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations where tool clearance is a critical factor.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• 3-flute, 45-degree helical flute design promotes fast chip evacuation in aluminum
• ZrN (Zplus) coating reduces friction and prevents aluminum adhesion on cutting edges
• Reduced-neck design with 1.3120 inch reach for deep-feature access
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; center-cutting capable
• Single-end tool with straight cylindrical shank for standard toolholding systems

Compatibility

Part of the Helical Solutions End Mills for Aluminum series — 3 Flute, Square, 45-degree Helix, Reduced Neck. Designed for use in aluminum and non-ferrous materials with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 0.1875-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the collet or holder and that runout is within acceptable limits before cutting. Do not use this tool in ferrous materials, as it is optimized for non-ferrous applications only. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for aluminum before engaging the cut.
