The Europa Tools HSS-E End Mill with TiAlN coating is a high-performance milling cutter built for professionals who demand reliability in tough jobs. At 8.5 mm with a three-flute, center-cutting design, it combines durable TiAlN coating, a flatted shank, and a short throw-away form for quick, accurate milling. Diameter: 8.5 mm cutting diameter for precise reach and profile accuracy Flute count: 3 flutes balance efficient material removal with smooth surface finish Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with extra toughness) for versatile metalworking Coating: TiAlN coating provides exceptional wear and heat resistance, extending tool life Center-cutting: Centre cutting geometry enables plunging and contouring in a single pass Shank: Flatted shank improves tool retention and resists slipping in the spindle Length: Short length reduces deflection and improves rigidity for tight pockets Throw-away design: Quick-change, no regrinding required to keep production moving The TiAlN coating and three-flute geometry deliver dependable performance across a range of metals, ensuring cleaner finishes and accurate dimensions. The center-cutting capability enables efficient plunging and contouring, reducing the need for secondary operations. The flatted shank and short length increase rigidity and stability, minimizing tool deflection and promoting precise results. With a focus on quick changes and minimal downtime, the throw-away design is ideal for busy shops and production environments that value speed and consistency.
