It features a 5\/16 inch cutting diameter, a 7\/16 inch length of cut, and a 45-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup at the cutting zone. The two-flute geometry provides generous flute valleys suited to the gummy, long-chip characteristics of aluminum and similar soft metals. Constructed from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill delivers rigidity and wear resistance in a compact, single-end configuration. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for non-ferrous materials where coating adhesion is unnecessary and clean cutting edges are preferred. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers and users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpieces are the primary material. The Series A245 designation places it in a family of general-purpose carbide end mills suited to finishing and semi-finishing passes. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry into the workpiece, expanding its range of practical applications. With a 5\/16 inch shank diameter and 2-1\/2 inch overall length, it fits standard ER and end mill holders commonly found in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 2-flute geometry for maximum chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials (Primary Workpiece Material Code: N).

Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the end mill. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the holder and that the collet or set-screw torque matches the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify spindle speed and feed parameters are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut before engaging the cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inch (0.4375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches (2.5000 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide (Micrograin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\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\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: A245\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 17002961\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557390516530,"sku":"17002961","price":64.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/11bc7152cad35cd14c32b8d3ee0d5aa4.jpg?v=1786387140","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17002961-square-end-mill-5-16-inch-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
