Built from M7 high speed steel, it runs uncoated with a 30-degree spiral flute geometry that promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during cuts. The 0.25-inch cutting diameter and 2-flute configuration make it well suited for slotting, profiling, and light-to-moderate material removal. The centercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users. The 0.375-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders found on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is used in job shop, maintenance, and production environments where M7 HSS tooling is preferred over carbide for its toughness in interrupted cuts or on manual machines. The 2-flute design provides adequate chip clearance when slotting softer steels, aluminum, and plastics. With a 0.5-inch length of cut and a 2.3125-inch overall length, it fits tightly spaced setups where a shorter reach is needed. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation is standard for conventional CNC and manual vertical milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM7 high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted cuts and on manual machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish suitable for regrinding and general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral configuration provides chip clearance in slotting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard milling machine spindle direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard single-end square end mill with a 0.375-inch shank, compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style holders sized for 3\/8-inch shanks on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists using appropriate collet or end mill holder sized to the 0.375-inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before mounting or removing the tool. Verify runout at the holder before beginning a cut.
