Seco 10008417 Corner Radius End Mill 0.5in 6 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 10008417 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling in demanding machining environments. With a 0.5 inch diameter, a 0.030 inch corner radius, and six flutes in a close-pitch spiral configuration, this tool delivers smooth surface finishes and extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The HTA physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating improves hardness and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures. It is center-cutting, single-end, and features a right-hand cutting direction with a right-hand flute direction. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill in CNC machining centers for finishing, semi-finishing, and profiling operations.

This end mill fits applications where sharp corner breaks or controlled radius blends are required on pockets, slots, and contoured profiles. The 1.625 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth passes in steel, stainless, cast iron, and hardened materials. The straight cylindrical 0.5 inch shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The SCS638R series is built for production environments where consistency and tight tolerances matter. It is well suited for job shops, aerospace component machining, mold and die work, and general metalworking requiring precise corner geometry control.

Key Features

• 0.030 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and extends part and tool life
• Six-flute close-pitch design increases feed rates and improves surface finish
• HTA PVD coating provides wear resistance and thermal hardness at the cutting edge
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• 38-degree medium helix promotes efficient chip evacuation in deep cuts
• Maximum TIR of 0.0005 inches supports tight-tolerance finishing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard collet-style and hydraulic toolholders accepting a 0.5 inch straight cylindrical shank. Compatible with CNC machining centers using SECO and equivalent toolholder systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the toolholder bore and collet are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, referencing the 0.0005 inch maximum TIR specification. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when changing or setting tools.
