FANAR solid carbide end mill X-MILL 430L, diameter 5.0 mm, length 30/75 mm, Z4 HA6 VHM

FANAR solid carbide end mill X-MILL 430L with a 5.0 mm cutting diameter and overall/working lengths of 75/30 mm is a four-flute cutter designed for precision milling, slotting and finishing operations. Made from solid carbide (VHM) and featuring HA6 geometry, this end mill is intended for use in metalworking and CNC milling where accurate edge quality and consistent performance are required.

Advantages

The four-flute Z4 design provides stable cutting conditions and improved surface finish on a variety of materials. HA6 geometry optimises chip evacuation and cutting forces for controlled material removal. Solid carbide construction ensures high rigidity and wear resistance during repeated machining cycles, delivering consistent results in finishing and semi-finishing applications.

Suitable for

• Precision milling of metals and alloys
• CNC slotting and contouring operations
• Finishing passes where surface quality is important
• Toolroom and prototype machining

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 5.0 mm
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Geometry: HA6
• Material: solid carbide (VHM)
• Working length: 30 mm
• Overall length: 75 mm

How to use

Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate according to the workpiece material and cutter diameter. Secure the end mill in a suitable collet or tool holder ensuring concentric clamping and minimal runout. For slotting and roughing, use conservative depths of cut and step-over values; for finishing, reduce radial and axial engagement and increase feed per tooth to achieve desired surface quality. Monitor tool wear and replace the cutter when edge rounding or chipping affects accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Use coolant or adequate cutting fluid where material and machine setup permit to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Verify machining parameters on test cuts before full production runs to balance productivity and tool longevity.
