1/4" Roughing End MillTungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated OverviewBuilt for fast material removal with lower cutting forces than a standard end mill. The serrated cutting profile breaks chips into smaller pieces to reduce spindle load, chatter, and vibration, making it a strong choice for roughing passes on spindle-driven CNC machines. Best For Rapid stock removal Roughing passes Pocket clearing Bulk material removal Why Choose It Removes material quickly with reduced spindle load Serrated flutes help reduce chatter and vibration Nano Blue coating improves heat resistance and tool life Ideal before finishing passes Starting ParametersStart conservatively, then increase as machine rigidity allows. Spindle: 14,000–18,000 RPM Feed: 180–280 IPM Plunge: 50–80 IPM Cut Strategy: Use deeper passes and higher feed than a standard end mill, then follow with a finishing tool Compatible Materials Hardwood Softwood Plywood MDF Plastics Specifications Tool Type: Roughing End Mill Flutes: 3 Cutting Diameter: 1/4" Cutting Length: 1.5" Shank Diameter: 1/4" Overall Length: 2.75" Material: Tungsten Carbide Coating: Nano Blue Notes Surface finish will be rougher than a finishing end mill Ideal for pocket clearing and bulk stock removal Good dust collection improves chip evacuation and tool life
