0.0200" (0.5mm) x .098" LOC 2-Flute Down Cut Square End Carbide End Mill, 1/8" Shank | M2-100

0.0200" (0.50mm) x .098" LOC 2-Flute Down Cut Square End Carbide End Mill, 1/8" Shank – M2-100

This Made in USA Kyocera precision micro carbide end mill features a 0.0200" (0.50mm) cutting diameter, .098" length of cut, 2-flute down-cut geometry, square end cutting profile, 1.50" overall length, and a standard 1/8" shank. It is designed for very fine CNC milling, engraving, inlay work, profiling, and detail cutting where a clean top edge is important.

The down-cut spiral design pushes chips downward during cutting, which can help reduce lifting, fraying, or breakout on the top surface of the material. This makes it especially useful for CNC inlay work, engraving, plastics, laminates, thin materials, and detail cuts where top-surface finish matters.

Because down-cut tools push chips into the cut, proper feeds, speeds, shallow step-downs, chip clearing, and secure workholding are important. Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for precision micro-machining.

Common Applications

• CNC inlay work
• Fine engraving and detail cutting
• Plastic and acrylic machining
• Wood and laminate cutting
• Thin material cutting where top-edge finish is important
• Composite materials and fiberglass
• PCB milling and routing
• Precision micro CNC machining

Benefits

• Made in USA Kyocera precision carbide construction
• Down-cut geometry helps improve top-edge surface finish
• Small 0.50mm cutting diameter is useful for very fine CNC detail work
• 2-flute design provides a balance of cutting strength and chip control
• Square end geometry is suitable for fine slotting, profiling, and detail cuts
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• Standard 1/8" shank fits many compact CNC routers and precision collet setups

Specifications

Down-cut note: Down-cut tools can improve top-edge finish, but they push chips downward into the cut. Use shallow passes, proper chip clearing, and secure workholding.
