Seco 17014137 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The SECO 17014137 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool delivers the heat and wear resistance needed for demanding cuts. It features a 1 inch mill diameter, 5 flutes, and a 30-degree maximum helix angle. The spiral flute geometry and right-hand cutting direction are suited for conventional roughing passes where chip evacuation and cutting edge durability are the primary concerns. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this end mill for roughing operations where carbide is not required or cost-effective.

This end mill is intended for use in vertical and horizontal milling machines, machining centers, and manual knee mills. The 3 inch length of cut and 5.5 inch overall length make it well-suited for deeper roughing passes on block stock, fixture work, and general-purpose shop applications. The 1 inch shank diameter seats directly into standard R8, CAT, or BT toolholders with matching bore size. The REM710 series targets production and job-shop environments where cobalt tooling is preferred for interrupted cuts or work-hardening materials.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction provides elevated red hardness compared to standard M2 HSS
• 5-flute configuration increases feed rate potential versus 4-flute end mills of the same diameter
• 30-degree helix angle balances chip flow and radial cutting force
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for re-sharpening and use with cutting oils
• Single-end design with right-hand flute direction and right-hand cut
• Regular length type with 3 inch length of cut and 5.5 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1 inch bore milling toolholders across vertical machining centers and manual mills requiring single-end cobalt roughing tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the drawbar or set screws per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and confirm workpiece fixturing is secure before initiating a roughing pass.
