Seco 17002333 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in 7 Flute Altin

Product Description

The SECO 17002333 is a solid carbide corner radius end mill engineered for demanding metal removal in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 0.0600 inch corner radius, and seven flutes ground to a close pitch for aggressive chip evacuation. The AlTiN PVD coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds. Designed for single-end use, this tool handles both roughing and finishing operations in a single setup, making it a practical choice for machinists and toolroom professionals working in CNC milling applications.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical and horizontal machining centers where close-tolerance profiling, contouring, and peripheral milling of hard or abrasive workpiece materials are required. The S738R series short-length geometry reduces deflection during high-feed passes. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard toolholders without adapters. Its right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute spiral are compatible with conventional CNC spindle configurations used in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN PVD coating rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium
• 7-flute close-pitch design supports high material removal rates with improved surface finish
• 0.0600 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at workpiece corners and extends edge life
• 38-degree medium helix angle balances cutting forces across roughing and finishing cuts
• Single-end, non-centercutting design — not intended for plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1/2 inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for CNC milling applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and titanium per material codes P, M, K, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping specifications. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the toolholder is clean and free of chips before tightening. This tool is non-centercutting and requires a pre-drilled or pre-bored entry point for any axial plunge moves. Verify spindle runout does not exceed the maximum TIR of 0.0005 inches before beginning a cutting cycle.
