Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this single-end tool features four right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle, delivering efficient chip evacuation and a stable cutting action. The stub-length geometry — 0.375 inches cutting length on a 0.375-inch diameter — keeps the tool rigid in short-reach applications where chatter and deflection are concerns. The bright uncoated finish makes it straightforward to inspect for wear. Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for general-purpose milling in a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and other non-ferrous materials, and high-temperature alloys. Typical applications include slot milling, profiling, and face milling in job shop and production environments. The 0.375-inch shank fits standard ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit tooling with a 3\/8-inch bore. It is part of the SPC408 series and is sold as a single-piece unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute, right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute at 30-degree helix angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStub-length LOC (0.375 inches) provides maximum rigidity for slotting and short-reach work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating buildup at edges, easy wear inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and high-temp alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 3\/8-inch bore milling toolholders including ER collet chucks and side-lock holders.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and verify runout against the 0.001-inch TIR maximum specification before cutting. Observe the shank diameter tolerance of -0.0001 to -0.0005 inches when selecting a matching collet size to ensure proper grip and minimize runout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches (2-1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\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\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0010\/-0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001\/-0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPC408\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 17011729\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559087767858,"sku":"17011729","price":40.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45e003f1f7c442eaf4a97369cd791473_9b03d9f1-bcdc-4841-959e-924fa10ca3ed.jpg?v=1786427111","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17011729-square-end-mill-3-8-inch-4-flute-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
