Seco 17002637 Square End Mill 1/32 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17002637 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built on the ME430 series platform, this single-end tool features four spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle and a bright, uncoated finish suited to a wide range of workpiece materials. The cutting diameter is 0.031 inches with a length of cut of 0.094 inches, a 0.125-inch straight cylindrical shank, and a 1.5-inch overall length. Micrograin carbide construction provides the rigidity and edge retention required for small-diameter work in steel, stainless, cast iron, aluminum, and high-temperature alloys. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is well suited to slot milling, profiling, and plunge operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills where a small-diameter, centercutting tool is required. Its right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate for aluminum and non-ferrous materials as well as general steel and stainless applications where a coated tool is not required. The 1.5-inch overall length keeps deflection low, which is critical when working at 1/32-inch diameter in harder workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention at small diameters
• 4-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills with standard collet or end mill holder tooling. Compatible workpiece materials include steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), aluminum and non-ferrous alloys (N), and high-temperature alloys (S) per ISO material group designations provided by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended gauge depth, and verify runout against the published TIR maximum of 0.0001 inches before running the first part. At 1/32-inch diameter, minimize overhang and confirm feed and speed parameters are appropriate for the workpiece material to avoid tool breakage.
