It carries a 1\/2 inch mill diameter with a 1 inch length of cut (LOC), a 1\/2 inch shank diameter, and a 3 inch overall length (OAL). The two-flute design improves chip evacuation in slotting and profiling cuts. Constructed from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this end mill is suited for moderate-speed cutting applications where tool cost and regrindability matter. Machinists and toolroom operators are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree right-hand spiral helix and right-hand cutting direction are standard for conventional milling setups. The regular-length designation and fractional inch sizing make it a practical stock option for job shops, maintenance toolrooms, and production machining cells running standard vertical mills or CNC machining centers. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge and ramp entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch mill diameter with 1 inch length of cut for standard slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for toughness and regrindability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute design promotes chip clearance in slotting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree right-hand spiral helix reduces cutting forces on common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on steel and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or stock tooling option for standard 1\/2 inch shank tool holders used in vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers.
