Seco 17013196 Corner Chamfer End Mill 2in 4 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The SECO 17013196 is a corner chamfer end mill from the VFP635 series, designed for demanding material removal in stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it measures 2 inches in diameter with a 3-inch length of cut and a 6.75-inch overall length. The 45-degree chamfer edge is ground to a 0.0400-inch chamfer width, delivering a consistent edge break or chamfer on finished workpiece profiles. This is a single-end, centercutting tool with four helical flutes in a right-hand cutting direction and a super-close pitch configuration suited for roughing and multi-axis toolpath strategies.

The 17013196 is appropriate for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where operators are cutting stainless steel, titanium, or superalloy components. Supported operations include shouldering, slotting, rampdown, helical interpolation, drill milling, and plunging and recessing. The Weldon flat shank, measuring 2 inches in diameter, provides positive drive and minimizes pullout under heavy cutting loads. This tool targets machinists and production shops working to tight tolerances on difficult-to-machine materials where tool life and edge integrity are critical.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in difficult-to-machine alloys
• 45-degree chamfer angle with 0.0400-inch chamfer width for consistent edge preparation
• Four helical flutes in right-hand cutting direction with super-close pitch for roughing
• Centercutting design supports plunging and rampdown without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Weldon flat shank reduces slippage during aggressive cuts
• Compatible with shouldering, slotting, helical interpolation, and drill-milling operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills with a 2-inch tool holding system. Primary workpiece materials are stainless steel, superalloys, and titanium (material codes M and S). Part of the SECO VFP635 series; manufacturer catalog number VFP635-2.000-D2-C040.3-Z6.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Secure the Weldon flat shank in a compatible end mill holder and tighten the set screw against the flat to rated torque per the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify spindle RPM and feed rate against the calculated surface footage for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and chamfer profile for chips or wear before each use.
