Seco 17004722 Roughing End Mill 3/4 in 3 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17004722 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from solid carbide with a TiCN coating, this tool handles tough cutting tasks where heat resistance and edge durability are critical. The 3/4-inch diameter, 3-flute, coarse-pitch geometry produces a chatter-reducing cutting action that allows higher feed rates during roughing passes. With a 1-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length, it fits standard milling setups without extended-reach adapters. Licensed machinists and tooling professionals specify this type of cutter for production roughing where cycle time and tool life matter most.

This end mill is suited for roughing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces in vertical machining centers, manual knee mills, and CNC milling applications. The coarse pitch and right-hand spiral flutes promote chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup at the cutting zone. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard collet chucks and end mill holders without modification. It is a regular-length tool appropriate for general-purpose roughing where clearance is not a constraint.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in roughing applications
• TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 3-flute coarse-pitch design promotes efficient chip evacuation at high feed rates
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard spindle direction compatibility
• 45-degree chamfer angle at tip with 0.025-inch chamfer width for controlled entry geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit roughing end mill for standard 3/4-inch straight-cylindrical shank collet chucks and end mill holders used in vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the spindle drive before loading or unloading the tool. Seat the straight cylindrical shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention fastener per the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator after clamping.
