Part of the SPB540 series, this single-end tool features a 1 inch mill diameter, a 6 inch length of cut, and an extra-long 8.5 inch overall length that allows access to deep cavities and tall workpiece features. The 4-flute spiral geometry supports both roughing and finishing operations. A TiCN physical vapor deposition coating reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting ferrous and high-temperature alloy materials. The Weldon flat shank provides a positive drive connection and resists pullout under heavy feed loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for vertical and horizontal machining centers where extended reach into deep pockets, molds, dies, or complex contoured surfaces is required. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC milling setups. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The 30 degree medium helix angle balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength across these material groups. Machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops, tool and die, aerospace, and general fabrication will find this tool applicable to a wide range of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch mill diameter with a 0.5 inch nose radius for true ball-end profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inch length of cut for deep cavity and extended-reach milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral geometry supports both roughing and finishing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN PVD coating for improved wear resistance on steel, stainless, and high-temp alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank reduces pullout risk under aggressive feed conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCentercutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard 1 inch toolholders with Weldon flat setscrew retention.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the Weldon flat fully against the setscrew to achieve proper grip and minimize runout; maximum TIR is specified at 0.001 inch. Verify tool projection and clearance against the workpiece and fixture before initiating a new program, particularly given the extra-long reach of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN (PVD)\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: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Roughing and Finishing\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\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 \/ -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum TIR\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPB540\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturers Catalog Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPB540-1.000-D6-B.3-Z4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\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: 17012972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560361099570,"sku":"17012972","price":435.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c82b07dea2bb6ac9c6f4e7cafcb258ea_5a98a1e8-ea05-419f-80b5-df22d92d7397.jpg?v=1786451449","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17012972-ball-end-mill-1in-4-flute-cobalt-ticn-spb540","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
