Promax 112-01614 Square End Mill 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The PROMAX 112-01614 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in milling operations. Built from micrograin solid carbide with an AlTiN finish, it delivers extended tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. The 5-flute, 40-degree helix spiral geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. With a 0.25 inch cutting diameter and a 0.75 inch length of cut, this end mill is suited for profiling, slotting, and finishing passes where tight tolerances and consistent performance are required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in job shops or production environments are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill fits standard CNC machining centers and manual mills using a 0.25 inch collet or end mill holder. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into material, expanding its range of applications to include pocketing and ramp entry. The regular length and compact 2.5 inch overall length make it well suited for confined-clearance work and short-reach setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation match the standard spindle direction of most machining platforms.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for wear resistance and edge retention
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature and high-speed cutting performance
• 5-flute design increases feed rate capability over standard 4-flute tools
• 40-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling and pocket entry
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with 0.25 inch collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, or end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully within the holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth per tool manufacturer and shop practice. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear and degrades tolerance.
