Seco 17016210 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt Ticn

Product Description

The SECO 17016210 is a single-end roughing end mill engineered for aggressive material removal in heavy-duty milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with TiCN for improved wear resistance and heat tolerance, this tool handles demanding cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It features a 1-inch mill diameter, a 4-inch length of cut, and a 5-flute spiral configuration with a right-hand cutting and flute direction. The 30-degree maximum helix angle promotes chip evacuation during roughing passes. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and operators of this end mill.

This end mill is suited for roughing operations on milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills in production, job shop, and maintenance environments. The REM445 series geometry is optimized for slotting, profiling, and peripheral roughing where high metal removal rates are required. The TiCN coating extends tool life in medium-to-hard steels and stainless alloys. Its regular-length designation makes it a practical choice for standard-depth pockets and peripheral cuts without extended-reach tooling.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for superior hot hardness and toughness in demanding cuts
• TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces built-up edge during roughing
• 5-flute spiral geometry increases feed rates compared to standard 4-flute roughers
• 30-degree maximum helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional milling machine compatibility
• Single-end configuration; no coolant-through feature, suitable for flood or mist coolant setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit roughing end mill for standard 1-inch diameter tool holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with cutting tool safety. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before seating or removing the tool from the holder. Verify shank runout is within tolerance using a dial indicator before engaging the workpiece. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speed and feed selection based on workpiece material and depth of cut.
