Hertel 750168 Square End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 750168 is a 2-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 7/16-inch (0.4375-inch) cutting diameter and a 1-inch length of cut, it delivers clean, flat-bottom profiles on a wide range of workpiece materials. The 30-degree spiral helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated carbide construction suits shops running standard cutting fluids or dry cutting where coating is not required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling.

This end mill is suited for conventional and CNC milling machines in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments. The centercutting geometry allows both peripheral and plunge cutting, expanding its range of use to slot milling, pocket milling, and contouring operations. The right-hand cutting direction and spiral flute design are standard configurations compatible with most vertical milling setups. The 7/16-inch shank diameter fits standard ER or end mill holders sized for that bore.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance compared to HSS tooling
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• 30-degree helix angle for smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling and slot entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut with spiral flute — standard configuration for most milling setups
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, or ER collet systems with a 7/16-inch bore. Fits vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills configured for that shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or cracks before each use — damaged carbide tooling should be replaced, not reground without proper equipment.
