With a 1\/2-inch cutting diameter and 5-flute geometry, it delivers a strong balance of material removal rate and surface finish quality. The 38-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A TiAlCN coating extends tool life by improving heat resistance and reducing surface friction at the cutting edge. This tool is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills by machinists and tooling professionals working in production or job-shop settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations in steels, stainless alloys, and hardened materials where tool longevity and edge retention are priorities. The variable index geometry helps suppress chatter during aggressive cuts, making it a reliable choice for tight-tolerance work in both production runs and prototype machining. The 2-1\/2-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes without sacrificing rigidity. A 1\/2-inch straight shank ensures broad compatibility with standard collet and end mill holder systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute design balances chip load capacity with finish quality in high-feed applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and lower cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlCN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable index flute spacing reduces harmonic vibration and chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron carbide grade substrate supports use in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable for plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 1\/2-inch collets, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems used in CNC and manual milling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following established toolroom procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Confirm the holder bore and collet are clean and free of chips or runout before seating the shank. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and ANSI B11 safety guidelines for end mill installation, clamping torque, and speed-and-feed parameters appropriate to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.51 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.64 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: ISCAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3398536\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ISCAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752987033906,"sku":"3398536","price":166.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5f4db0e48a1997cfe5dd176c66a02da0_09e59c8e-18ec-4f78-aa9d-8ac3a5613d2f.jpg?v=1788931878","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/iscar-3398536-square-end-mill-1-2-in-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
