FANAR milling cutter solid carbide shank Ø10.0 mm, 40/100 mm, Z4, HA10, X-MILL 430L

The FANAR milling cutter solid carbide shank Ø10.0 mm, 40/100 mm, Z4, HA10, X-MILL 430L is a solid carbide end mill designed for precision metalworking. It features a 10.0 mm diameter shank and a choice of cutting length and overall length consistent with the 40/100 mm specification. The tool has four flutes and a HA10 geometry, developed to provide consistent cutting performance in slotting and peripheral milling operations on steels and similar alloys. It is suitable for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where carbide tooling is required for rigidity and wear resistance.

Advantages

The four-flute design delivers a balance between material removal rate and surface finish, while the HA10 geometry improves chip evacuation and cutting stability in a range of ferrous materials. Being a solid carbide tool, the cutter offers high rigidity and wear resistance compared with high-speed steel alternatives, enabling higher spindle speeds and feeds when appropriate. The 10.0 mm shank diameter ensures secure clamping in standard tool holders, reducing runout and improving dimensional accuracy of milled features.

Suitable for

• Slotting and groove milling in steels and similar alloys
• Peripheral milling and finishing passes
• CNC machining operations requiring carbide end mills
• Manual milling where carbide tooling is preferred for longevity

Key specifications

• Shank diameter: 10.0 mm
• Cutting geometry: HA10
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Tool type: solid carbide end mill
• Length specification: 40/100 mm (cutting length/overall length)

How to use

Mount the milling cutter in a compatible collet or tool holder that secures a 10.0 mm shank, and ensure proper clamping to minimize runout. Select spindle speed and feed rate appropriate for the workpiece material, cutter geometry, and machine rigidity; start with conservative parameters and adjust based on surface finish and tool wear. Use suitable coolant or cutting fluid for the material being machined to improve tool life and chip evacuation. Inspect the cutter regularly for wear or damage and replace when edge rounding or chipping affects part quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results in steels, use moderate radial engagement and climb milling where possible, maintain steady feed to avoid rubbing, and ensure machine spindle runout is within acceptable limits for carbide tooling. When machining harder alloys, reduce depths of cut and increase coolant flow to prolong tool life.
