Built from high speed steel (HSS), it features a 20-degree taper angle per side and a 1\/8 inch small end diameter, making it well suited for creating tapered slots, draft angles, and contoured surfaces in a variety of workpiece materials. The square end geometry allows for flat-bottom cuts, and the three-flute spiral configuration balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. This tool is center-cutting, allowing direct plunge entry into the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe W-202 is used in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers for light-to-medium material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and straight-bore collet systems commonly found in production and job-shop environments. With a 1\/2 inch length of cut and 2-1\/2 inch overall length, it is suited for shallow-to-moderate depth tapered features in both prototype and production runs. Machinists and toolroom operators are the primary users of this end mill type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-degree taper angle per side for consistent draft and taper profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides toughness and re-sharpenability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare end geometry produces flat-bottomed tapered cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip removal and balanced cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard tapered end mill for use in vertical mills and CNC machining centers equipped with a 3\/8 inch collet or tool holder capable of accepting straight-shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Secure the 3\/8 inch shank firmly in the collet to the manufacturer-specified pull-out resistance per shop practice. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear and reduces dimensional accuracy on tapered features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch (0.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Angle Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W-202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68387589652786,"sku":"W-202","price":65.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1713b5192aaaf0202f5c185874e89389.jpg?v=1793904041","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-w-202-tapered-end-mill-3-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
