.046" x .138" LOC Four Flute End Mill, Stub Length, Square End, Carbide M236

Our four flute stub length solid carbide end mills are 

 Four flutes offer improved stability and chip evacuation compared to their counterparts with fewer flutes. The "stub length" refers to their shorter overall length, making them ideal for applications where rigidity and stability are essential.

The main advantages of using four flute stub length carbide end mills include:

1. Enhanced Stability: The additional flutes distribute the cutting forces evenly across the tool, reducing vibrations and enhancing stability during machining. This results in improved surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.

2. Efficient Chip Evacuation: The four flutes help in effectively evacuating chips from the cutting zone, preventing chip clogging and reducing the risk of workpiece damage or tool breakage. This feature is particularly useful when working with softer materials or in high-speed machining applications.

3. Increased Material Removal Rate: With four cutting edges, these end mills can remove material at a faster rate, improving productivity and reducing overall machining time. This makes them suitable for applications requiring efficient material removal, such as roughing operations.

4. Versatility: Four flute stub length carbide end mills can handle a wide range of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. This versatility makes them suitable for various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and general machining.
