Niagara Cutter N62024 Carbide Square Nose End Mill, inch, TiAlN Finish, Roughing and Finishing Cut, 45 Degree Helix, 5 Flutes, 6

Description

Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the company is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000" to -0.002". Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. It also offers increased hardness compared to TiN and may reduce the need for lubricants based on the application. Cutting edges have an eccentric primary relief feature that provides better support than a flat relief, reducing tooth breakage in difficult-to-machine materials. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The end mills square end creates sharp, unrounded cuts. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. The number of flutes varies; fewer flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity, while more flutes produce a finer finish. The TiAlN coating resists heat better than TiN and TiCN coatings, increasing tool life and performance. This tool is designed for peripheral finishing. The round shank accommodates a range of tool holders.

Key Features

• The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life.
• Niagara Cutters S545 TiAlN-coated carbide square nose end mill has a 45-degree helix angle for fine-finish peripheral milling on difficult-to-machine materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and high-temperature alloys.
• Cutting edges have an eccentric primary relief feature that provides better support than a flat relief, reducing tooth breakage in difficult-to-machine materials.
• End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles.
• The 45-degree helix provides increased cutting action and chip evacuation compared to end mills with lower helix angles, as it moves excess material quickly up the spiral and away from the workpiece.
• The number of flutes varies; fewer flutes provide better chip-carrying capacity, while more flutes produce a finer finish.
