FANAR solid carbide shank milling cutter Ø8.0 mm 19/63 Z4 HR HB6 VHM BLUE CUT

FANAR solid carbide shank milling cutter Ø8.0 mm 19/63 Z4 HR HB6 VHM BLUE CUT is a precision end mill engineered for high-speed metalworking. The tool has an 8.0 mm cutting diameter, a 19/63 length/profile and four flutes (Z4), manufactured from cemented carbide (VHM) with an HB6 hardness grading. A BLUE CUT coating provides enhanced wear resistance and consistent cutting performance in demanding machining tasks.

Advantages

The solid carbide construction ensures rigidity and dimensional stability at high spindle speeds, while the four-flute geometry balances efficient chip evacuation and surface finish. The BLUE CUT coating reduces friction and extends tool life when machining steels and other metals. Designed for high-speed (HR) applications, the cutter maintains cutting edge integrity and provides repeatable results across series production and precision operations.

Suitable for

• Precision milling of steel and alloy components
• Slotting and pocketing in small to medium workpieces
• Finishing passes to achieve tight surface quality
• High-speed machining where tool rigidity is required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8.0 mm
• Length/profile: 19/63
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Material: cemented carbide (VHM)
• Hardness grade: HB6
• Coating: BLUE CUT for improved wear resistance
• Application type: high-speed (HR) machining

How to use

Mount the milling cutter securely in an appropriate solid shank holder or collet with correct runout specification. Select spindle speed and feed rate according to the workpiece material and the cutter's diameter and flute count; use recommended high-speed machining parameters for steels and alloys while monitoring cutting forces. Ensure proper coolant or lubrication where required to manage heat and chip evacuation. Periodically inspect the cutting edges and replace the tool when wear affects dimensional accuracy or surface finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with conservative depth of cut and increase incrementally while observing chip formation and surface finish. Use appropriate coolant or air blast to assist chip removal and prevent built-up edge. Maintain correct tool clamping and minimize runout to preserve tool life and part accuracy.
