It features a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 5\/8 inch length of cut, and a 2-1\/2 inch overall length. Built from micrograin carbide with an AlTiN coating, this end mill delivers extended tool life when cutting ferrous metals, hardened steels, and abrasive alloys. The 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with rigidity, making it well suited to slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations. A 35-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces vibration at the tool tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills across job shop and production environments. It is a centercutting design, allowing plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute configuration is standard for conventional and climb milling with typical spindle rotation. It is sold individually and is suited for tool rooms, maintenance shops, and production floors that require a reliable general-purpose carbide end mill in the 1\/2 inch diameter class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating for high-temperature performance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design balances chip clearance and core strength for slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute  -  standard configuration for most CNC and manual milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard 1\/2 inch straight-shank tool holders, collets, and end mill adapters used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the 1\/2 inch shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.000 \/ -0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 109\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROMAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 109-03224\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROMAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51997350428978,"sku":"109-03224","price":97.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9948a1e0d57528ee5efbff5ecef698f2.jpg?v=1789994064","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/promax-109-03224-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
