Iscar 5622530 Corner Chamfer End Mill 1/2 in 5 Flute Altin

Product Description

The ISCAR 5622530 is a solid carbide corner chamfer end mill designed for high-performance material removal in demanding machining applications. Built on the ECI-E5-CF series platform with an IC900 material grade and AlTiN PVD coating, this tool delivers reliable wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. It features a 0.5-inch mill diameter, a 1.25-inch length of cut, a 45-degree chamfer angle, and a 0.016-inch chamfer width. The variable flute index geometry and five-flute configuration support both roughing and finishing passes in a single tool. Machinists and CNC operators working with steel, stainless steel, and cast iron will find this end mill suited to high-duty cycle production environments.

This end mill is built for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Typical applications include shouldering, slotting, ramp-down entry, and helical interpolation. The extended reach design and medium length type make it appropriate for features requiring access beyond standard reach envelopes. The Weldon flat shank provides positive drive retention in compatible toolholders. This tool is intended for use on CNC machining centers and milling machines operated by experienced machinists and tooling professionals.

Key Features

• AlTiN PVD coating for high-temperature wear resistance in ferrous and hard material cutting
• 45-degree chamfer angle with 0.016-inch chamfer width for consistent edge break geometry
• Variable flute index (close pitch) reduces harmonic vibration during cuts
• Single-end, right-hand cut with right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and resists pullout under heavy loads
• Suited for shouldering, slotting, ramp-down entry, and helical interpolation operations

Compatibility

Primary workpiece materials are steel, stainless steel, and cast iron (ISO material codes P, M, K). Secondary workpiece materials include non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials (ISO codes N, S, H). Manufacturer catalog number ECI-E5L500-1.25W500CF confirms series fitment within the ISCAR ECI-E5-CF line. Compatible with toolholders accepting a 0.5-inch Weldon flat shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and machine in a safe, locked-out state. Confirm toolholder bore diameter and set-screw alignment to the Weldon flat before torquing to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout after clamping prior to cutting. This tool is not center-cutting and should not be plunged axially; use ramp-down or helical interpolation for entry moves as supported by the tool design.
