Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 0.25 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1.25 inch length of cut and a 38-degree helix angle to balance chip evacuation with surface finish quality. A PowerLayer coating reduces friction and extends tool life in production environments. This end mill is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank, suited for use by machinists and tool and die professionals on vertical and horizontal milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe US556064 fits standard 0.25 inch collet and end mill holders found on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. With a 3 inch overall length and standard length classification, it is appropriate for general-purpose peripheral and slot milling at typical reach requirements. The variable index flute geometry reduces harmonic vibration during aggressive cuts, making it a practical choice for finishing passes as well as roughing in harder alloys. It is centercutting, allowing plunge entry directly into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute variable index design reduces chatter and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerLayer coating lowers cutting friction and extends tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard 0.25 inch collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 0.25 inch shank square end mill compatible with CNC machining centers, manual mills, and any spindle or toolholder accepting a straight cylindrical 0.25 inch shank.

Seat the shank to the recommended minimum depth in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before each use. Follow applicable machine tool safety guidelines and shop standards when setting speeds and feeds for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38 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: PowerLayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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: US556\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: US556064\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROMAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51987111870770,"sku":"US556064","price":86.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7a755e34a6683e3c78783ab3c7066118_aa6033ee-7f85-440d-9d37-c68f48d9a3e1.jpg?v=1789986624","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/promax-us556064-square-end-mill-5-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
