Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling, making it well-suited for harder workpiece materials. The cutter measures 1.125 inches in diameter with a 3\/4-inch shank and a 2-inch length of cut. Six flutes distribute cutting load across the tool, improving chip clearance and reducing chatter during heavy roughing passes. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose roughing applications. This is a right-hand cut, right-hand helix tool configured for use in conventional vertical or horizontal milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for roughing passes where stock removal rate takes priority over surface finish. The 6-flute geometry and cobalt construction make it appropriate for medium to hard ferrous metals, alloy steels, stainless steel, and similar materials in job shop and production machining environments. The 4-1\/4-inch overall length accommodates standard tool holders and collet chucks with a 3\/4-inch bore. It is a non-centercutting design, so plunge milling is not a recommended operation with this tool. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC mill operators are the typical end users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced vibration during heavy cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.125-inch cutting diameter with a 2-inch length of cut for substantial material engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch straight shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helix for use in conventional milling machine setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — ready to run or accept aftermarket coating if required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill compatible with any milling machine or machining center equipped with a tool holder accepting a 3\/4-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before operation.
