5110624 High Speed Steel (HSS) Square Nose End Mill, Inch, Extra Long Length, Weldon Shank, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, 30 Degree Helix, 2 Flutes, 3.5625" Overall Length, 1/4" Cutting Diameter, 3/8" Shank Diameter

The Union Butterfield 982 uncoated high-speed square end mill has two flutes, a 30-degree helix angle, and an extra-long-length design for applications that require deep slotting. The two flutes have better chip-carrying capacity than end mills with more flutes while offering additional support when the tool goes deep into the material. The extra-long-length design has longer cutting edges than standard-length end mills for deep slotting and applications that require a high depth of cut. High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no additional coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a range of materials. The tool’s square end creates sharp, unrounded cuts. The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications. It balances lower angles’ strong cutting edge for difficult-to-machine materials with higher angles’ increased cutting action. The center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed into the workpiece like a drill bit; it can also be used for slotting and ramping. The cutting diameter tolerance is +0.003” to -0.000”. This tool has a Weldon shank that provides a secure hold in the toolholer and helps prevent slippage. It meets ANSI specification B94.19 for quality assurance. End mills are designed to remove material and create multi-dimensional shapes and profiles. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tool’s cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The number of flutes can range from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Center-cutting end mills can create three-dimensional shapes and profiles, and make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Non-center-cutting end mills are for applications such as peripheral milling and finishing, but cannot make plunge cuts. Dormer Pramet manufactures cutting tools under the following brands: Precision Twist Drill, Dormer, Union Butterfield and Pramet. The company has locations around the world, and provides tools adhering to ANSI, NAS, and DIN standards.
