Seco 17002392 Square End Mill 0.01 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17002392 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. With a 0.01 inch cutting diameter and a 0.03 inch length of cut, this tool is built for fine detail work and micro-machining where accuracy is critical. The micrograin carbide construction delivers the hardness and edge retention needed to maintain tight tolerances at small diameters. A 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation while minimizing deflection. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. Its centercutting geometry allows it to plunge as well as profile, making it versatile for slots, pockets, and contours at micro scales. The single-end, straight shank configuration fits standard collet chucks and ER-style toolholders with a 0.125 inch shank bore. It is a strong choice for high-precision CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter work is routine.

Key Features

• 0.01 inch cutting diameter with plus or minus 0.0005 inch diameter tolerance for precise dimensional control
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for superior hardness and wear resistance at micro diameters
• 2-flute, right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute design for efficient chip removal
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and promotes smooth chip flow
• Centercutting geometry enables both plunge and peripheral milling operations
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials including high-temp alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.125 inch straight shank; compatible with standard ER and precision collet toolholding systems. Rated for primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys per SECO Series ME230 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or removing the tool. Seat the 0.125 inch shank fully into the collet to the recommended engagement depth before torquing the collet nut. At 0.01 inch diameter, this tool is extremely fragile — avoid side-loading, excessive feed rates, or unsupported overhang beyond the collet face to prevent breakage.
