Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. The cutter measures 17\/64 inches (0.2656 inches) in diameter with a 3\/4-inch length of cut and a 2-1\/2-inch overall length. A 30-degree right-hand spiral helix and four flutes provide efficient chip evacuation and a smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where coating is not required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals typically specify this geometry for profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for use in production and job-shop environments handling low-alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials. The 3\/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end-mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders common in vertical machining centers and knee mills. Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional and climb milling on CNC and manual equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for improved hardness and heat resistance over standard HSS grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute, right-hand spiral design for smooth chip flow in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable — supports direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle balances cutting force and surface finish across a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose and re-sharpenable tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 3\/8-inch shank for broad holder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for machining setups requiring a 3\/8-inch shank, 17\/64-inch diameter square end mill in cobalt HSS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists following shop safety procedures. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and locked out before loading or removing the tool from its holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the collet or set screw is torqued per the tool-holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17\/64 inches (0.2656 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.75 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches (2.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End, Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: E299921161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730398642482,"sku":"E299921161","price":58.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/18a4b7a1211b94241970c00cb36db00d.jpg?v=1788716765","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-e299921161-square-end-mill-17-64-in-4-flute-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
