Hertel 750368 Square End Mill 5/8 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HERTEL 750368 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, alloy, and composite workpieces. It features a 5/8 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 5/8 inch shank diameter for direct chucking in standard collets and end mill holders. The 2-flute configuration and 30-degree helix angle promote chip evacuation in slotting and profiling applications. A titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. Overall length is 3-1/2 inches. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC operators in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The right-hand spiral flute geometry handles ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate to aggressive feed rates. The 2-flute design provides clearance for chips in slotting cuts where gullet volume matters. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole, making it practical for pocket milling and ramp entry operations. Typical applications include tool steel, aluminum, and general-purpose alloy work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow in slotting and profiling
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge entry and pocket milling
• Right-hand cut, spiral flute configuration for standard CNC and manual mill setups
• 2-flute design provides chip clearance in full-slot and deep-pocket operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8 inch shank square end mill compatible with 5/8 inch collets, end mill holders, and milling chucks used on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before seating or removing the tool from the holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder torqued per the toolholder manufacturer specifications to prevent slippage. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace if edge integrity is compromised.
