Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiCN coating, this tool delivers durability and heat resistance in demanding cutting environments. It features a 1\/2 inch diameter with a 2.5 inch length of cut and a 4.5 inch overall length, making it suited for regular-length applications. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree maximum helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals select this end mill for roughing passes where stock removal rate matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills. It performs well in ferrous metals and other materials where M42 cobalt tooling is the appropriate choice over standard HSS. The 1\/2 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and R8 collet systems as well as side-lock tool holders. It is not center-cutting, so it is not suited for direct plunge entry. This tool is appropriate for roughing passes prior to a finishing end mill operation, particularly in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for elevated heat and wear resistance versus standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree maximum helix for efficient chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5 inch length of cut with 4.5 inch overall length in a regular-length profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-center-cutting design — requires a pre-drilled or ramped entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1\/2 inch collet or tool-holder systems on CNC and manual milling equipment.

Power down and lock out the spindle drive before seating or removing the end mill from its holder. Verify collet runout and shank seating depth before first use, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and reduces surface finish quality. Do not use this tool for direct plunge entry — use a helical or ramped interpolation path when cutting into a solid surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Helix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.003 to -0.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 to -0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.062 to -0.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: REM710\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17015178\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560866873650,"sku":"17015178","price":129.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a98fd236090fa45a0e54e321483dac03_4c40ed57-4789-4bab-92cc-f167c16d918a.jpg?v=1786458886","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17015178-roughing-end-mill-1-2-in-4-flute-cobalt-ticn","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
