Seco 10023152 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 10023152 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill designed for high-performance milling of non-ferrous metals. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 0.0100 inch corner radius, and three right-hand spiral flutes with a 45-degree high helix angle. The ANF PVD coating extends tool life and reduces built-up edge when cutting aluminum, copper, brass, and similar materials. At 5 inches overall length with a 5/8 inch length of cut and a 3 inch reach, this single-end centercutting tool handles both roughing and finishing operations. It is used in CNC machining centers and milling setups by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This end mill is suited for production and job-shop milling of non-ferrous workpieces where extended reach is required. The coarse pitch, high helix design promotes chip evacuation in deep pockets and long-reach applications. The straight cylindrical 1/2 inch shank seats directly into standard collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic toolholders. The AN345R series is positioned for both finish passes and aggressive material removal in aluminum and similar non-ferrous alloys where surface finish and dimensional accuracy matter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous milling
• ANF PVD coating reduces friction and built-up edge on aluminum and non-ferrous alloys
• 0.0100 inch corner radius protects the cutting edge and improves surface finish at part corners
• 45-degree high helix, coarse pitch promotes chip clearance in deep-pocket and extended-reach cuts
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 3 inch reach length on a 5 inch OAL tool accommodates deep-cavity and long-reach applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and hydraulic toolholders that accept a 1/2 inch straight cylindrical shank. Intended for milling non-ferrous metals in CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using appropriate toolholders rated for the shank diameter and reach requirements. Ensure the toolholder bore and collet are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Verify runout against the TIR specification before production cuts. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate when setting up for non-ferrous materials.
