HARRIER 504442 1 in Milling Dia, 2 in LOC, 4 in OAL, 4 Flutes, Carbide, CR-MAX, Square End Mills

The Harrier SPC-504442 is a square-end mill designed for precision material removal, producing sharp, square-cornered cuts. Its specific features and engineering make it suitable for machining flat surfaces, slots, and pockets with consistent accuracy.

• Square-End Geometry: Designed to create flat-bottomed cuts with square edges, ideal for applications requiring sharp corners in slots, pockets, and grooves.
• Upcut Flute Design: The upcut geometry efficiently removes chips upward and out of the cutting zone, reducing heat buildup and ensuring clean material removal. This is particularly useful for milling deep pockets or slots where chip evacuation is critical.
• Material Composition (Carbide): Constructed from high-quality carbide for exceptional hardness and durability, making it suitable for machining harder materials and extending tool life.
• Cutting Diameter (1 Inch): A 1-inch cutting diameter offers robust material removal capabilities, making it appropriate for larger scale machining tasks.
• Flute Count (4 Flutes): Preferred for harder materials like steel and cast iron. Offers higher strength, better surface finishes, and stability in general milling operations, but with less chip space, it’s better suited for shallower cuts.
• Cutting Length (2 Inches): Adequate cutting length for deeper milling operations without requiring multiple tool changes.
• Center-Cutting Capability: Allows for direct plunge cuts into the material, expanding its use in pocketing and drilling operations.
• Right-Hand Cutting Direction: Standardized right-hand cutting direction ensures compatibility with most CNC and manual milling setups.

Application:

• Tool Steel or Hardened Materials: Best suited due to carbide durability and 4-flute stability. Handles high cutting forces with consistent performance.
• Mild Steel: Excellent balance of material removal and surface finish with 4 flutes. Ideal for flat surfaces, slots, and grooves.
• Cast Iron: Handles abrasive material effectively with durable carbide. Provides stability for clean cuts in dry machining.
• Aluminum: Suitable for finishing; the 4-flute tool delivers smooth finishes in rigid setups. For roughing, consider a 2-flute or 3-flute tool for better chip evacuation in this softer material.
• Plastics (e.g., Acrylic, Polycarbonate): Works well for finishing; the 4-flute tool ensures clean edges with proper speeds and secure fixturing. For roughing, a 2-flute tool is preferable to prevent chip buildup and reduce heat generation.
