Seco 17014629 Roughing End Mill 1 in 3 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The SECO 17014629 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, it delivers strong wear resistance and heat tolerance in demanding cutting environments. The tool features a 1 inch cutting diameter, 3 flutes, and a 36-degree high-helix spiral flute design that promotes efficient chip evacuation. With a 3 inch length of cut and 5.5 inch overall length, this long-series end mill suits deep-pocket and full-slot roughing passes. It is center-cutting and right-hand in both cut and flute direction. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this tool on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This roughing end mill is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous roughing applications where high material removal rates are the priority. The cobalt M42 substrate performs well in harder steels and stainless alloys where standard HSS tooling loses edge life quickly. The long-series configuration makes it a practical choice when standard-length tools cannot reach the full depth of a feature. It fits conventional and climb milling setups in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• 3-flute geometry balances chip clearance with core strength for roughing cuts
• 36-degree high-helix spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled start hole
• 1 inch shank diameter matches the 1 inch cutting diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting
• Long-series length type with 3 inch length of cut for deep-feature access
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1 inch end mill holders, collet chucks, or Weldon-style holders on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's setup procedures. Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque the retention screw to the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges and runout before initiating the first cut.
