Product Description
The SECO 17002647 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Part of the ME430 series, this single-end tool features a 0.04 inch cutting diameter, a 0.12 inch length of cut, and a 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank. The 4-flute geometry with a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix provides efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes on a range of workpiece materials. Micrograin carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention at small diameters. The bright uncoated finish is standard for this configuration. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production environments.
The 17002647 is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The centercutting design allows plunge entry. With a 1.5 inch overall length and 0.12 inch length of cut, this tool is well matched to shallow-depth finishing passes and detail work in tight geometries where tool reach and deflection management are critical considerations.
Key Features
- 0.04 inch cutting diameter with micrograin solid carbide construction for edge strength at small diameters
- 4-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute with 30-degree helix angle
- Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
- Bright uncoated finish; no coating buildup at the cutting edge
- Straight cylindrical 1/8 inch shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility
- Rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and high-temp alloys
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and similar machine tools accepting a 1/8 inch straight shank end mill holder or collet.
Installation Notes
Installation and tool changes should be performed by qualified machinists with the machine in a full stop, spindle off, and E-stop engaged. Use a properly sized ER or end mill collet rated for 1/8 inch shanks and torque the collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specification. At 0.04 inch diameter, the tool is extremely fragile verify runout does not exceed the 0.0002 inch TIR maximum before cutting. Follow your facility safe-work procedures and applicable ANSI B11 machine tool safety standards.
