Hertel E107002801 Square End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The HERTEL E107002801 is a 2-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Manufactured from M7 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 42-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The centercutting geometry allows for plunge cuts as well as peripheral milling. With a 7/16-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch length of cut, this end mill handles slotting, profiling, and step-milling operations across a range of workpiece materials. It is sized for use in standard 3/8-inch collets or end mill holders.

This end mill is suited for manual mills, CNC machining centers, and knee mills found in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional milling setups. The regular-length geometry and 3/8-inch shank make it a practical choice for light-to-medium material removal on steel, aluminum, and similar materials where an uncoated HSS tool is appropriate. Machinists and toolroom operators are the primary installers and users.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for durability in general machining applications
• 42-degree helix angle for effective chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows both plunge and peripheral milling operations
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a variety of materials
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute for standard milling setups
• 2-flute configuration provides ample chip clearance in slotting operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in 3/8-inch collet chucks or end mill holders on manual mills and CNC machining centers requiring a regular-length 2-flute HSS square end mill.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists using a 3/8-inch collet or end mill holder; ensure the holder is properly torqued and the shank is fully seated before operation. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutting diameter before starting the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool when edge condition degrades to avoid poor surface finish or workpiece damage.
