FANAR solid carbide end mill, model 70060721 — diameter 2.0 mm, shank 6 mm, length 50 mm, 4 flutes, HA4 coating, VHM

FANAR solid carbide end mill model 70060721 is a 2.0 mm diameter milling cutter with a 6 mm shank and 50 mm overall length. Constructed from VHM (solid carbide) and featuring a four-flute (Z4) geometry with HA4 surface treatment, this tool is manufactured for precision metalworking and CNC milling operations that require rigidity, dimensional stability and improved wear resistance.

Advantages

The combination of VHM material and HA4 coating increases tool life and resistance to abrasive wear while preserving cutting-edge stability. Four flutes provide a balance between material removal rate and surface finish quality, making the tool suitable for finishing passes as well as light roughing. The 6 mm shank ensures secure clamping in standard tool holders and reduces runout, supporting consistent machining accuracy.

Suitable for

• Precision slotting and pocket milling in steel and non-ferrous metals
• Profiling and contour machining on CNC milling machines
• Finishing operations where small-diameter cutters are required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 2.0 mm
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Overall length: 50 mm
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Material: solid carbide (VHM)
• Surface treatment: HA4 coating

How to use

Mount the end mill in a suitable collet or tool holder that accepts a 6 mm shank, ensuring proper concentricity and secure clamping to minimize runout. Select cutting speeds and feed rates based on the machined material, tool diameter and flute count; start with conservative parameters and adjust for optimal chip evacuation and surface finish. Use appropriate coolant or air blast when machining metals to control temperature and extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and replace the tool if wear or chipping affects part quality.

Usage recommendations

For steel and harder alloys, reduce cutting depth and use lower feed per tooth compared with non-ferrous materials. For best finish, perform a final finishing pass with reduced radial engagement. Maintain proper chip evacuation and consider climb milling for improved surface quality when machine rigidity allows.
