Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The 0.5 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1 inch length of cut and a 3 inch overall length, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on machining centers and manual mills. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the bright uncoated finish is appropriate for use with cutting fluids or dry cutting on a range of ferrous metals. This end mill is installed and maintained by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 17011645 is engineered for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to ISO material groups P, M, K, and S. Its centercutting design permits plunge entry directly into the workpiece, expanding its usefulness across profiling, ramping, and pocket-milling operations. The regular-length geometry and 0.5 inch shank diameter suit standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style holders commonly found in job shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction provides elevated heat resistance for demanding ferrous and high-temp alloy cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluids and dry machining setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 2 flutes balances chip clearance and edge strength for general-purpose work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular-length body fits standard toolholders without extended-reach clearance concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO groups P, M, K, S).

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Verify holder bore and collet size match the 0.5 inch shank before torquing to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges for damage before each use and confirm runout is within acceptable limits using a dial indicator.\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: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0000 to -0.0030 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SP205\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\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: 17011645\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51558672236850,"sku":"17011645","price":48.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/686dc3695ff3f36c37307c60b1cee92c_d137ba04-ce34-4c20-b93c-b8ee9800f19f.jpg?v=1786417523","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17011645-square-end-mill-0-5-in-2-flute-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
