Seco 17014097 Roughing End Mill 5/8 in 4 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The SECO 17014097 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers the heat and wear resistance needed for cutting ferrous and harder workpiece materials. The 5/8 inch diameter cutter features 4 spiral flutes with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, a 30-degree maximum helix angle, and a bright uncoated finish. With a 1.625 inch length of cut and 3.75 inch overall length, this is a regular-length tool suited for general-purpose roughing passes where fast stock removal matters more than surface finish.

This end mill is intended for use in manual or CNC vertical milling machines, knee mills, and machining centers performing roughing operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. The series REM710 roughing profile uses a chipbreaker-style geometry that breaks chips into smaller segments, reducing cutting forces and heat buildup during heavy cuts. It is a standard tool for machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance machining environments. The 5/8 inch shank diameter matches the cutter diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in demanding materials

• Single-end design with 1.625 inch length of cut and 3.75 inch overall length
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without coolant
• REM710 series roughing geometry reduces cutting forces during heavy stock removal
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom roughing end mill for use in collet chucks, end mill holders, or side-lock holders accepting a 5/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Verify that the holder bore and collet are clean and within tolerance before seating the shank. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after clamping before beginning any cut.
