Part of the STB440.2 series, it features a 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inch) mill diameter with a matching 3\/16 inch straight cylindrical shank, a 3\/8 inch length of cut, and a 2 inch overall length. The four-flute, single-end design uses a variable helix spiral flute geometry to reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation. An AlTiN PVD coating adds heat resistance and surface hardness, extending tool life when cutting abrasive or high-temperature alloys. Machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople select this mill for precision short-reach work where rigidity is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is engineered for roughing and finishing operations in stainless steel, superalloys, titanium, and other hard materials. Its micrograin carbide substrate and variable helix geometry make it well suited to demanding production environments where tool life and dimensional accuracy are priorities. The short length classification improves stability in setups where minimizing overhang reduces deflection and maintains tight tolerances. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling center spindles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid micrograin carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN PVD coating enhances heat resistance and tool life in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable helix spiral flutes reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour-flute, single-end configuration supports both roughing and finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall nose geometry with 0.0938 inch nose radius for contoured and 3D surface work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort series design improves rigidity and minimizes deflection at the cutting zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inch for close-tolerance fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for applications calling for Series STB440.2 tooling, catalog number STB440.2-0.188-D2-B.0-Z4.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify collet bore and pull stud specifications match the shank diameter and confirm runout does not exceed the 0.0005 inch TIR maximum before beginning a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting feeds, speeds, and depth of cut for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0938 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\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 (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Variable Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Superalloys and Titanium, Hard Material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 \/ -0.0020 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 \/ -0.0600 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: STB440.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03083825\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562650566962,"sku":"03083825","price":59.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fb90b74b8043e76d84b036d8fe169f24.jpg?v=1786481574","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-03083825-ball-end-mill-3-16-in-4-flute-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
