0.2362" (6.00mm) x .950" LOC 3-Flute Square End HSS End Mill, 0.2362" Shank | M179

0.2362" (6.00mm) x .950" LOC 3-Flute HSS Square End Mill, 6mm Shank – M3-120

This 3-flute high speed steel (HSS) square end mill features a 0.2362" (6.00mm) cutting diameter, .950" length of cut, 3-flute spiral geometry, 2.70" overall length, and a matching 6.00mm shank. It is designed for milling, slotting, profiling, and general machining work in appropriate materials.

The 3-flute spiral design provides a balance of chip clearance and cutting strength. This style is commonly used for aluminum, soft metals, and general-purpose milling where a center-cutting square end tool is needed. It may also be suitable for ferrous metals when proper speeds, feeds, lubrication/coolant, and machine rigidity are used.

High speed steel construction offers toughness and general-purpose usability. The square end geometry is suitable for slotting, profiling, shoulder milling, and flat-bottom cuts in appropriate materials.

Common Applications

• General milling and machining
• Aluminum and soft metal milling
• Slotting and profiling
• Shoulder milling
• Flat-bottom cuts
• Light-duty ferrous metal machining when proper setup and cutting conditions are used
• Prototype, repair, hobby, and small-shop machining

Benefits

• 3-flute spiral geometry balances chip clearance and cutting strength
• Center-cutting square end allows plunge-style entry when used properly
• .950" LOC provides useful cutting reach for deeper slots and profiles
• 6.00mm cutting diameter and 6.00mm shank suit metric collet/toolholding setups
• HSS construction provides toughness for general-purpose machining
• Square end geometry is suitable for slotting, profiling, shoulder milling, and flat-bottom cuts
