Seco 10023028 Square End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Carbide Anf

Product Description

The SECO 10023028 is a solid carbide square end mill engineered for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It features a 3/4-inch mill diameter, three right-hand spiral flutes, and a 45-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer, gummy materials. The ANF coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in non-ferrous applications. Overall length is 5 inches with a 2-1/4-inch length of cut, making it a standard-reach tool suited to a wide range of milling operations. The straight, 3/4-inch shank seats into standard collets and end mill holders. It is a single-end, center-cutting design, allowing plunge entry as well as peripheral cuts.

This end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where aluminum alloys, brass, copper, or other non-ferrous materials are the primary workpiece. The Series A345 geometry with micrograin carbide substrate performs well in high-RPM, high-feed strategies common in production and job-shop environments. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC programmers working with non-ferrous stock will find this tool appropriate for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling operations requiring a standard-length reach.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch mill diameter with matching 3/4-inch straight shank for direct collet mounting
• Three right-hand spiral flutes with 45-degree helix angle for aggressive chip evacuation in aluminum
• ANF coating reduces friction and built-up edge on non-ferrous workpieces
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate provides hardness and edge retention at elevated cutting speeds
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• 2-1/4-inch length of cut and 5-inch overall length suit standard-depth milling applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and non-ferrous materials (Primary Workpiece Material Code: N). Compatible with standard 3/4-inch collets and end mill holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout does not exceed the 0.0050-inch TIR maximum after clamping. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for torque specifications on collet nuts and set screws.
