Kennametal 6086333 Square End Mill 0.5in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6086333 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 0.5 inch diameter and a 0.625 inch length of cut, this tool handles slotting, profiling, and contouring in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The TiAlN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in high-speed and dry-cutting applications. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms.

This end mill suits applications in vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual knee mills. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry, enabling ramping, helical interpolation, and full-slot cutting without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry follows standard convention for the majority of CNC and manual mill setups. It is suited to finish and semi-finish milling passes where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• TiAlN finish improves heat resistance and extends tool life in dry or semi-dry machining
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduces tool deflection
• Centercutting capability allows plunge, ramp, and helical entry without a pilot hole
• 4-flute configuration balances material removal rate with chip clearance
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.5 inch shank square end mill for use in collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling systems that accept a 0.5 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and runout specifications. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clean before clamping to minimize runout. Confirm spindle rotation direction matches right-hand cut geometry before engaging the workpiece. Follow applicable shop safety procedures including appropriate guarding and RPM limits for the tool diameter and material being cut.
