Built from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers consistent cutting performance and extended tool life compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The bright\/uncoated finish is well suited for aluminum applications where coating adhesion is a concern. Key geometry includes a 3\/16 inch mill diameter, 9\/16 inch length of cut, 2 flutes, and a 45-degree helix angle. The 45-degree helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes in softer non-ferrous workpieces. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC operators in job shop, production, and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is applied in milling operations involving aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials where a center-cutting, right-hand spiral tool is required. The 2-flute design provides larger chip gullets suitable for high-speed passes in softer materials. The straight shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. Series A245 positions this as a general-purpose geometry for light-to-moderate material removal. It is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and plunge cuts given its center-cutting capability. Both vertical machining centers and manual knee mills are typical use platforms for this diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute design provides large chip gullets for high-speed passes in soft materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suited for aluminum milling where coating buildup is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose OEM-style end mill for use in standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and shrink-fit tooling that accept a 3\/16 inch straight shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the straight shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout does not exceed the specified TIR maximum before beginning a cut. Follow shop-specific feeds, speeds, and depth-of-cut guidelines appropriate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 to -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 to -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: A245\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17002953\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563099128114,"sku":"17002953","price":51.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff13367177960266139f121457a41b37_d026b7db-b691-4b38-96ec-59f33518a121.jpg?v=1786490560","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17002953-square-end-mill-3-16-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
