It features a 7\/8-inch mill diameter with a 4-flute, right-hand spiral flute configuration and a 30-degree medium helix angle. The TiCN coating is applied via PVD process, providing wear resistance and surface hardness suited for demanding milling applications. Overall length is 4.125 inches with a 1.875-inch length of cut. This single-end tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators working in job shop, tool room, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for finishing cuts in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium. The short-length geometry and Weldon flat shank make it suitable for rigid setups in vertical machining centers and manual knee mills where minimal overhang is required. The SPB540 series is built for consistent performance in high-demand cutting scenarios where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are the primary objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt end mill material for elevated heat resistance compared to standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating applied by PVD process for improved wear resistance and hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with 30-degree medium helix angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank for positive drive and reduced slippage in set-screw holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall nose geometry with 0.4375-inch nose radius for profiling and contouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort-length designation for maximum rigidity in finishing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style finishing end mill for use with standard 7\/8-inch end mill holders and Weldon flat set-screw tool holders in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists using a standard end mill holder or Weldon flat collet chuck; the set screw must engage the flat fully before securing. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe lockout state before changing tooling. Verify runout does not exceed the specified TIR maximum of 0.001 inches after installation to maintain surface finish quality and tool life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches (0.8750 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN (PVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-7\/8 inches (1.8750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-1\/8 inches (4.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches (0.8750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Removal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel; Stainless Steel; Cast Iron; Non-Ferrous Metal; Superalloys and Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0010 \/ -0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.0600 \/ -0.0600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0001 \/ -0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR Maximum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0010 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPB540\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Short\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 17016493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557744673074,"sku":"17016493","price":172.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/117ee10858ef4155379f0b1c09f1a797.jpg?v=1786394062","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-17016493-ball-end-mill-7-8-in-4-flute-cobalt-ticn-spb540","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
