Seco 10022702 Square End Mill 1/8 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 10022702 is a single-end square end mill ground from micrograin solid carbide and designed for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter with a 0.25-inch length of cut and a 1.5-inch overall length. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer, gummy materials, while the ANF coating helps reduce built-up edge and extend tool life. With two flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, this end mill is suited for finishing and light profiling passes where surface finish and dimensional accuracy matter. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into the workpiece.

This end mill is built for use in milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual mills where small-diameter precision cutting is required. Its short length designation keeps deflection low during slotting and profiling operations. The 0.125-inch straight shank fits standard collets and tool holders designed for 1/8-inch tooling. Primary applications include aluminum extrusion work, die casting finishing, brass and copper component machining, and other non-ferrous milling tasks where carbide rigidity and an optimized helix angle outperform high-speed steel alternatives.

Key Features

• 0.125-inch mill diameter with 0.25-inch length of cut for precise, shallow passes
• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 45-degree helix angle promotes chip flow in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• ANF coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life on non-ferrous workpieces
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, straight shank for standard collet compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in aluminum and non-ferrous material milling applications. Fits any 1/8-inch straight-shank collet or tool holder. Part of the SECO Series A245 short-length square end mill line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing tooling. Verify collet condition and runout prior to use — maximum TIR for this tool is 0.005 inches. Follow shop-standard tool-change procedures and confirm clamping torque per the tool holder manufacturer specifications.
