Micro 100 CRE-187-060X Corner Rounding End Mill 3/16 in

Product Description

The MICRO 100 CRE-187-060X is a double-ended corner rounding end mill machined from solid carbide and coated with AlTiN for heat resistance and extended tool life. It features a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) mill diameter, a 0.06 mm corner radius, and three flutes arranged in a right-hand cutting and flute direction. This tool is designed for precision edge-rounding operations on a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and CNC operators install it directly into compatible tool holders without modification. At 2 inches overall length and 0.028 pounds, it is compact and well-suited for tight-tolerance applications.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling operations where controlled corner radii are required on metal or composite workpieces. The double-ended design allows the operator to index to a fresh cutting end, extending service intervals between tool changes. It fits applications in job shops, production environments, and tool rooms where consistent edge geometry is critical. The AlTiN coating provides oxidation resistance at elevated cutting temperatures, making it suitable for dry or minimal-lubrication machining strategies.

Key Features

• Double-ended design extends usable tool life between replacements
• AlTiN coating provides heat and oxidation resistance for dry or semi-dry cutting
• Solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional stability
• 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with cutting surface contact
• Right-hand cutting and flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• 0.06 mm corner radius produces consistent, controlled edge rounding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style corner rounding end mill for use in standard 3/16 inch tool holders and collet chucks on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the 3/16 inch shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator after installation.
