0.0157" (0.4mm) x .079" LOC 2-Flute Square End Carbide End Mill, 1/8" Shank | M103

0.0157" (0.40mm) x .079" LOC 2-Flute Square End Carbide End Mill, 1/8" Shank – M103

This Kyocera precision micro carbide end mill features a 0.0157" (0.40mm) cutting diameter, .079" length of cut, 2-flute square end geometry, 1.50" overall length, and a standard 1/8" shank. It is designed for fine CNC milling, slotting, profiling, and detailed cutting where small features and controlled machining are required.

The 2-flute up-cut design helps evacuate chips efficiently while maintaining a clean cutting action in many micro-tool applications. This tool is suitable for fine detail work in plastics, acrylic, wood, composites, fiberglass, and soft non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass when proper feeds, speeds, and workholding are used.

Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for precision micro-machining. The square end geometry is useful for small slotting, profiling, contouring, and creating flat-bottom features in fine CNC work.

Common Applications

• Micro CNC milling
