Seco 10023037 Corner Radius End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 10023037 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for precision milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/8 inch (0.1250 inch) mill diameter, a 0.0200 inch corner radius, and a 3/8 inch length of cut, with a 1-1/2 inch overall length and a 1/8 inch straight-cylindrical shank. The three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry supports both roughing and finishing operations in a single tool. An ANF PVD coating provides wear resistance suited to aluminum, copper, brass, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. The Series A345R designation places this tool in a purpose-built family for high-performance non-ferrous machining applications.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills for contouring, slotting, and profiling non-ferrous metal components. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry, making it versatile for pocket milling. The 45-degree high helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing built-up edge on gummy materials. It is a single-end tool intended for use with standard straight-bore toolholders. Typical applications include aerospace components, electronics housings, and precision mechanical parts machined from aluminum or copper alloys.

Key Features

• 0.0200 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration and improves edge life at workpiece corners
• ANF PVD coating formulated for non-ferrous metal cutting applications
• Three-flute, right-hand spiral geometry supports both roughing and finishing in one pass
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• 45-degree high helix angle promotes fast chip evacuation to reduce recutting
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability at high feed rates

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard straight-bore toolholders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter. Optimized for non-ferrous metal workpiece materials including aluminum, copper, and brass alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before loading or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully in the toolholder and torque collet nuts to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout against the stated TIR maximum of 0.0005 inch before beginning the cut.
