Seco 10022711 Square End Mill 1/4 in 2 Flute Carbide Anf

Product Description

The SECO 10022711 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling of aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It features a 1/4 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/4 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length, making it well-suited for extended-reach applications. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer, gummy materials like aluminum. The ANF coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in non-ferrous cutting operations. Machining professionals and CNC operators working with aluminum, brass, copper, and similar materials will find this single-end geometry delivers consistent, repeatable results across production and prototype work.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where aluminum or non-ferrous workpiece materials are the primary application. The extra-long length type and 1-1/4 inch length of cut make it practical for deeper pockets, slots, and profiling operations that shorter-reach tools cannot reach. It is a single-end tool with a straight 1/4 inch shank, compatible with standard collet and end mill holder setups. Series A245 designates its place within the SECO product family for non-ferrous milling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous cutting
• ANF coating reduces friction and built-up edge when machining aluminum and similar materials
• 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces heat in the cut
• 2-flute geometry provides large chip gullets suited to aluminum and soft non-ferrous alloys
• Extra-long length type with 1-1/4 inch LOC enables deeper pocket and slot milling
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry into workpiece material

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines using standard 1/4 inch collets or end mill holders. Primary workpiece material compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous materials, per Series A245 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the straight shank fully into the collet or holder and torque to the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout does not exceed the 0.0050 inch TIR maximum before beginning the cut.
