Kennametal 5052008 Corner Radius End Mill 3/4 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5052008 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 3/4 inch mill diameter, a 0.03 inch corner radius, and three right-hand spiral flutes with a high helix angle of 37 degrees. The bright/uncoated submicron carbide construction provides sharp cutting edges and consistent performance in aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. At 3 inches overall length with a 7/8 inch length of cut, this single-end, center-cutting tool is built for short-reach roughing operations where dimensional accuracy and edge integrity are critical.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills handling non-ferrous workpieces in light industrial and precision shop environments. The coarse pitch, three-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in softer materials where flute loading is a common concern. The straight cylindrical 3/4 inch shank seats securely in ER single angle standard collets, making it a direct fit for common toolholding setups. It is part of the KENNAMETAL AADE series, which targets high-performance non-ferrous roughing work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron grade construction for edge sharpness and wear resistance in non-ferrous cuts
• 0.03 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and extends tool life at the cutting edge
• Three right-hand spiral flutes with coarse pitch promote chip clearance in aluminum and similar materials
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright/uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous materials where coated tools can cause built-up edge
• High helix angle (37 degrees) improves surface finish and reduces cutting forces

Compatibility

Designed for use with ER single angle standard collets. Sized for toolholders accepting a 3/4 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Intended for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials (material code N) in the KENNAMETAL AADE series.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully powered down and the spindle locked. Ensure the collet and toolholder are clean and within runout tolerance before seating the shank. Follow the machine manufacturer and KENNAMETAL AADE series recommendations for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut for the specific workpiece material. Do not use this tool on ferrous or hardened materials outside its rated application range.
