Measuring 0.1378 inches in diameter with a 0.1575 inch straight-cylindrical shank, this stub-length tool features 4 spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting. The ALtima coating extends tool life in high-wear applications. Micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention needed when milling hardened and exotic materials. This is a single-end, right-hand cut tool with right-hand flute direction, suitable for CNC machining centers and precision milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16313780A is suited for machining a broad range of workpiece materials, including hardened steels, cast irons, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, titanium, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. The stub-length configuration and 0.2756 inch length of cut make it well-suited for rigidity-critical applications where deflection and vibration must be minimized, such as tight-tolerance pocketing, slotting, and profiling on CNC milling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1378 inch mill diameter with a tolerance of +0.000 \/ -0.048 mm for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for balanced chip evacuation and surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for hardness and edge retention in difficult materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eALtima coating for extended wear resistance and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStub-length body reduces overhang and maximizes rigidity in close-clearance setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and production cutting tool for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.1575 inch straight-cylindrical shank.
