Seco 17014864 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt Tialn

Product Description

The SECO 17014864 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiAlN for heat and wear resistance, this tool handles tough ferrous and exotic alloys where standard HSS tooling falls short. It features a 1 inch cutting diameter, a 3 inch length of cut, and a 5-flute spiral geometry with right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction. The long-series configuration provides extra reach for deep-pocket and profile milling work. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this style for roughing passes where chip clearance and tool life are the primary concerns.

This end mill suits vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills performing roughing operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. The 5-flute count balances chip evacuation with edge strength, making it well suited to full-width slotting and peripheral roughing in production and job-shop environments. The 30-degree maximum helix angle promotes smooth cutting action at higher chip loads. Coolant-through is not supported, so flood or mist coolant applied externally at the cut zone is the standard approach.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for elevated red-hardness and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating extends tool life in high-heat cutting applications
• 5 spiral flutes with right-hand cut for efficient chip evacuation during roughing
• 30-degree maximum helix angle for balanced cutting forces
• Long-series length type provides extended reach into deep pockets
• Single-end design; non-centercutting geometry suited for peripheral and slot roughing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for applications calling for a 1 inch diameter, 5-flute, single-end cobalt roughing end mill in the SECO REM445 series. Verify shank diameter, length of cut, and overall length against machine and holder requirements before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolholding procedures for milling equipment. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end-mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and ensure the workholding setup is rigid enough to handle the cutting forces typical of roughing operations.
