Seco 17014828 Roughing End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Cobalt Tialn

Product Description

The SECO 17014828 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in demanding machining applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiAlN for heat resistance and extended tool life, this cutter handles interrupted cuts and tough ferrous materials where standard HSS tools fall short. The 1/2-inch diameter with a matching 1/2-inch shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders. With 4 right-hand spiral flutes and a 30-degree maximum helix angle, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance across a range of feed rates and depths.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, and other hard metals in both job shop and production environments. The 2.5-inch length of cut and 4.5-inch overall length make it appropriate for moderate-depth pocketing, slotting, and profile milling. It is a non-centercutting tool, so plunge cuts should be avoided. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills are the primary users of this style of cutter.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree maximum helix angle for efficient chip removal
• 2.5-inch length of cut with 4.5-inch overall length in a regular-length configuration
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Series REM445 roughing geometry reduces cutting forces and chatter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement roughing end mill for use in standard 1/2-inch collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the holder is properly torqued per the tool holder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, and confirm the machine spindle rotates right-hand to match this cutter's cutting direction.
