Sandvik Coromant 5742603 Square End Mill 12mm 6 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 5742603 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. This single-end tool features a 12 mm cutting diameter, a 26 mm length of cut, and 6 flutes with a 50-degree helix angle for aggressive chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. The TiAlN coating provides elevated heat and wear resistance, extending tool life in ferrous and hardened workpiece materials. At 83 mm overall length with a 12 mm shank diameter, it fits standard tool holders used in CNC machining centers across job shop and production floor applications. The part belongs to the CoroMill Plura series, which is designed for demanding solid carbide milling operations.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, shoulder milling, and peripheral milling in steel, stainless steel, and similar materials where a long-flute, high-helix geometry is required. Right-hand cutting direction and right-hand spiral flute configuration make it compatible with conventional CNC setups. The long length type designation suits deeper cavity work and applications where extended reach is needed within standard overhang limits. Machinists and CNC operators in aerospace, die-mold, and general metalworking will find this tool appropriate for finish and semi-finish passes where flute count and coating matter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle and tool holder are clean and within tolerance before mounting. Follow the tool holder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines and verify runout after installation. Reference applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements before initiating any cutting operation.
