Seco 10023054 Corner Radius End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 10023054 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance material removal in non-ferrous metal applications. It features a 3/8 inch diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 0.020 inch corner radius that reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge and extends tool life. The 3-flute geometry paired with a high-helix, coarse-pitch spiral flute configuration promotes efficient chip evacuation. An ANF PVD coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance. This end mill is single-end, centercutting, and right-hand cutting with a straight cylindrical shank, making it compatible with standard toolholders used in CNC machining centers and milling operations.

This tool is suited for roughing and finishing operations on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys. The Series A345R design is intended for use in production and job-shop environments where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are required in a single tool pass. The 2.5 inch overall length and 3/8 inch shank diameter fit a wide range of standard collet and end mill holder configurations used on vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous metal cutting
• 0.020 inch corner radius reduces edge chipping and improves corner strength
• ANF PVD coating enhances surface hardness and reduces built-up edge
• High-helix, 3-flute spiral geometry promotes chip evacuation during aggressive cuts
• Centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting for standard CNC spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders on CNC milling machines and machining centers. Straight cylindrical shank is compatible with ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and hydraulic end mill holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter.

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 mounting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify shank runout does not exceed the specified TIR maximum of 0.0005 inches after seating in the toolholder. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for collet nuts and set screws to prevent tool pullout during high-feed operations.
