Cutting End Mill EXO PRO Z carbide-tipped conical 2.3 mm

The EXO PRO Z carbide-tipped conical end mill, diameter 2.3 mm, is a precision cutting tool engineered for detailed profiling and small-feature machining. With a conical geometry and a wear-resistant carbide tip, the tool is designed to deliver consistent edge retention and dimensional accuracy when creating chamfers, contours and fine details in metals and other machinable materials. It is compatible with CNC milling and manual milling setups where small diameters and fine surface finishes are required.

Advantages

The carbide tip provides enhanced wear resistance and longer tool life compared with high-speed steel alternatives. The conical shape enables accurate cutting of tapered features and internal contours, while the small 2.3 mm diameter allows access to tight areas and fine detail work. The tool’s geometry is optimized to reduce vibration and improve surface finish during high-speed and low-speed operations.

Suitable for

• Precision chamfering and profiling of small parts
• Milling of contours and tapered features in metals
• Detail work on molds, dies and fixtures
• CNC milling of small-diameter bores and recesses
• Manual milling where fine control and tool life are important

Key specifications

• Tip material: wear-resistant carbide
• Tool geometry: conical end mill
• Nominal diameter: 2.3 mm
• Intended materials: metals and other machinable materials
• Applications: profiling, chamfering, contouring, fine-detail milling

How to use

Mount the end mill in a suitable collet or tool holder ensuring concentricity and secure clamping. Select cutting parameters (spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) appropriate to the workpiece material and the small 2.3 mm diameter; use conservative depths of cut when approaching tight tolerances. For best results, perform an initial trial cut to validate speeds and feeds, and monitor tool wear during production runs. Use appropriate coolant or air blast to clear chips and control temperature when machining metals.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged tool life and consistent finish, avoid excessive radial engagement and high depths of cut on the 2.3 mm diameter. Prefer multiple light passes rather than a single heavy pass, and maintain proper chip evacuation with coolant or compressed air. Verify machine spindle runout to minimize tool breakage when working with small-diameter end mills.
