Seco 17004677 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17004677 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built from solid carbide with an AlTiN coating, it handles high-temperature cutting environments where HSS tooling falls short. The 1-inch diameter, 5-flute, fine-pitch geometry produces a controlled chip load that reduces chatter and vibration during heavy roughing passes. With a 2-inch length of cut and 5-inch overall length, this tool suits a wide range of roughing applications on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is suited for roughing operations in materials ranging from alloy steels to stainless. The right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. The Weldon flat shank provides positive drive engagement in side-lock holders, reducing pullout risk under heavy cuts. The fine pitch and 20-degree maximum helix angle are optimized for stability in short-chipping materials. It fits standard 1-inch bore end mill holders and collet chucks dimensioned for a 1-inch shank.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with AlTiN coating for extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures
• 5-flute fine-pitch design reduces chatter and supports higher feed rates during roughing passes
• Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and resists pullout in side-lock tool holders
• Right-hand cut, right-hand spiral for use with standard CNC and manual mill spindles
• Centercutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• 45-degree chamfer angle on cutting end; chamfer width of 0.025 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct upgrade for 1-inch shank roughing end mill applications in standard end mill holders and side-lock Weldon-flat tool holders used on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified machine operator should install this tool following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Confirm the tool holder bore and set-screw alignment match the Weldon flat shank before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation and before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
