Solid Carbide End Mill FANAR FREZ TRZPIENIOWY VHM Ø3.0 mm, 20/50 mm, Z4, HA4, X-MILL 430L

Solid carbide shank end mill FANAR FREZ TRZPIENIOWY VHM Ø3.0 mm, 20/50 mm, Z4, HA4, X-MILL 430L is a compact precision cutter designed for small-diameter milling tasks. With a 3.0 mm cutting diameter and four flutes, this tool combines rigidity and chip evacuation characteristics suitable for accurate profile, slot and finishing operations. The X-MILL 430L grade and HA4 helix geometry offer a balance of wear resistance and edge stability for use in a range of industrial materials.

Advantages

The solid carbide construction ensures high rigidity and dimensional stability during machining, reducing deflection in small-diameter cuts. Four flutes improve surface finish and feed capability while maintaining efficient chip control for many light to medium cutting conditions. The HA4 helix geometry helps to achieve consistent cutting forces and favorable chip flow. The X-MILL 430L grade provides a compromise between toughness and hardness, extending tool life in typical milling applications.

Suitable for

• Precision profile milling and contouring in metals and alloys
• Slotting and small-diameter pocketing
• Finishing passes to achieve improved surface quality
• High-rigidity applications where minimal tool deflection is required

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 3.0 mm
• Overall/usable length: 20/50 mm
• Number of flutes: 4
• Helix/geometry: HA4
• Material: solid carbide
• Coating/grade: X-MILL 430L

How to use

Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the workpiece material, taking into account the small 3.0 mm diameter and the four-flute geometry. Secure the tool in a suitable high-precision collet or holder to minimize runout. Begin with conservative cutting parameters and progressively increase feed or depth of cut while monitoring surface finish and tool condition. Ensure adequate coolant or air blast for chip removal when machining ductile materials and adjust strategy for interrupted cuts or deep slotting to avoid tool overload.

Usage recommendations

Use this end mill for light to medium finishing and profiling operations in steels, aluminum alloys and common industrial materials. For best results, verify machine rigidity, minimize tool overhang, and balance cutting parameters to the specific material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
