Iscar 5621972 Square End Mill 1/4 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ISCAR 5621972 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1/2 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle that promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The two-flute configuration provides adequate chip clearance when working softer materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper. Built to material grade IC08, this end mill is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank. It is suited for machining centers and CNC milling applications where tight tolerances and clean surface finishes are required on non-ferrous workpieces.

This end mill is intended for use in professional machining environments handling non-ferrous metals classified under workpiece material code N. The regular length designation and 2-1/2 inch overall length make it appropriate for standard-depth profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling operations. The bright, uncoated finish is typical for tooling optimized for non-ferrous applications where coating adhesion to the workpiece material is a concern. Machinists and CNC operators in job shops, production facilities, and toolrooms will find this a practical choice for aluminum and similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, material grade IC08, for rigidity and wear resistance
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation on non-ferrous metals
• Two-flute design provides generous chip clearance in softer workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard milling setups
• Bright, uncoated finish suited to non-ferrous machining applications
• Straight cylindrical shank for use in standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with standard 1/4 inch collets or end mill holders compatible with a straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware per the machine manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout will accelerate tool wear and degrade surface finish.
