With a 5\/32 inch (0.1562 inch) cutter diameter and a 4-flute helical design, this tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in a wide range of workpiece materials. The variable helix and variable index geometry reduce chatter and harmonic vibration, improving surface finish and extending tool life. The ALtima finish provides enhanced wear resistance and heat tolerance. A 3\/16 inch straight-cylindrical shank and 2 inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders used in CNC machining centers and manual mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, P, and S indicate suitability for hardened steels, cast iron, stainless steel, general steels, and heat-resistant superalloys. The centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. It is used in production shops, tool and die environments, and precision component manufacturing where tight tolerances and consistent tool life are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable helix and variable index flute geometry reduces chatter and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALtima coating for enhanced heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helical flutes for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.000 to -0.002 inches ensures consistent fit and accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/16 inch collet chucks and tool holders; suitable for workpiece materials designated by codes H, K, M, P, and S as specified in the M.A. FORD.
