Hertel E103213202 Square End Mill 1-1/2 in 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E103213202 is a square-end, single-end milling cutter designed for general-purpose material removal in vertical and horizontal milling applications. It features a 1.5-inch cutting diameter, a 1.5-inch length of cut, and a 0.75-inch shank diameter, with an overall length of 3.875 inches. Constructed from M7 grade high speed steel and left uncoated, this cutter is suited for moderate-speed ferrous and non-ferrous machining where HSS tooling is preferred over carbide. Its 6-flute, 30-degree right-hand spiral geometry provides balanced chip evacuation and surface finish in finishing and semi-finishing passes.

This end mill is intended for use in manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and production milling setups where a standard straight-shank, larger-diameter cutter is required. The non-center-cutting design means it is not suited for plunge milling and should be used exclusively in side-milling, slotting from the periphery, or ramping entry operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials will find this tool appropriate for profiling, contouring, and peripheral milling operations.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch mill diameter with 1.5-inch length of cut for substantial material engagement
• 6-flute spiral flute geometry for improved finish and feed rate capability
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• M7 high speed steel construction offers toughness and re-grindability
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard spindle direction
• Non-center-cutting design — suitable for peripheral and side milling only

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.75-inch straight shank, including collet chucks, end mill holders, and similar toolholding systems sized for this shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed with the machine powered off and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the shank in a properly sized end mill holder or collet chuck, ensuring adequate engagement depth per toolholder manufacturer guidelines. This is a non-center-cutting tool — do not plunge directly into solid material. Consult applicable shop safety standards and machine tool documentation for speed and feed recommendations appropriate to the workpiece material.
