This single-end, center-cutting tool features a 0.5 inch mill diameter, a 3.125 inch length of cut, and a 6 inch overall length. Built from micrograin solid carbide substrate in an uncoated bright finish, it runs a 2-flute, right-hand spiral flute geometry at a 45-degree helix angle. That combination delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean surface finishes on soft metals. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in job shops, production environments, and aerospace or automotive component manufacturing will find this tool appropriate for a wide range of milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17002979 belongs to SECO Series A245 and is optimized for cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous materials (ISO material code N). The straight shank measures 0.5 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard ER or side-lock collet chucks. The regular-length classification and 3.125 inch length of cut support slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations in setups where extended reach is not required. This is a fractional-inch tooling system part suited for machine shops running both conventional and CNC milling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle with 2 right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMill diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0020 inches for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction; straight shank for broad chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 0.5 inch straight-shank collet or side-lock toolholders on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify runout does not exceed the specified TIR maximum of 0.0005 inches after tool mounting. Do not use this tool on ferrous materials, as the uncoated carbide substrate and flute geometry are optimized specifically for non-ferrous applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 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\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous (ISO Code N)\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: 1 pound\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: 17002979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562345759026,"sku":"17002979","price":294.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ff13367177960266139f121457a41b37_7dae1293-6ceb-48f8-ac62-2a2b7ad7d3e7.jpg?v=1786475399","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17002979-square-end-mill-1-2-in-2-flute-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
