Seco 00029154 Tapered End Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00029154 is a solid carbide tapered end mill designed for precise milling operations requiring a controlled taper profile. With a 15-degree taper angle per side and a 0.1575-inch small end diameter, this tool delivers accurate, repeatable cuts in demanding machining environments. The three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry paired with a MEGA finish coating provides strong chip evacuation and extended tool life across a range of workpiece materials. A 30-degree helix angle balances cutting stability with smooth chip flow. This tool is installed and used by machinists and CNC tooling specialists in production and job-shop settings.

This tapered end mill is suited for milling slots, pockets, and angled wall features on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The primary workpiece material compatibility codes K, M, N, P, and S indicate suitability for cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous alloys, steel, and high-temperature alloys. The square end geometry produces clean, flat bottom cuts. With a 0.5906-inch length of cut and a 12 mm shank diameter, this tool fits standard collet and toolholder setups used in vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 15-degree taper angle per side for precise angled wall and draft-angle milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and heat resistance in demanding cuts
• MEGA finish coating for improved wear resistance and reduced friction
• 3-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Square end geometry produces flat-bottom features without secondary finishing
• h5 shank diameter tolerance for accurate toolholder fit and minimal runout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tapered end mill for use in standard CNC toolholders and collet chucks accepting a 12 mm shank diameter. Compatible with workpiece material codes K, M, N, P, and S as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify the shank is clean and seated fully in the collet or toolholder before torquing to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Centercutting is not supported on this tool, so plunge entry is not recommended without a pre-drilled pilot or ramping entry strategy.
