Kennametal 5824387 Corner Chamfer End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 5824387 is a solid carbide corner chamfer end mill built for demanding metal removal in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials. The cutter measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 1 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length, running a 0.02 inch chamfer width at a 45-degree chamfer angle. Four right-hand helical flutes at a 30-degree helix angle deliver efficient chip evacuation and surface finish across both roughing and finishing passes. The KC633M PVD TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and wear protection, extending tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions. Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.

This end mill is suited for CNC machining centers performing shouldering, slotting, ramp-down entry, helical interpolation, drill milling, and plunging and recessing operations. It is appropriate for both production and toolroom environments where a single tool must handle edge-breaking chamfer work alongside general profile and slot milling. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER and side-lock collet systems. Normal pitch and medium helix style make this tool a general-purpose choice across a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials in shop-floor conditions.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with KC633M PVD TiAlN coating for heat and wear resistance
• 0.02 inch chamfer width at 45 degrees for consistent edge-breaking and chamfering
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Four right-hand flutes at 30-degree helix support both roughing and finishing cuts
• Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
• Supports shouldering, slotting, ramp-down, helical interpolation, drill milling, and plunging operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with standard 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank toolholders. Compatible workpiece materials include steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), and non-ferrous metals (N) per ISO material classification. Manufacturers catalog number 4CH0500IR100A, Series 4CH.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool change position is reached before handling the cutter. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention fastener per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cutting program, and confirm tool length offset is set correctly in the machine controller.
