FANAR solid carbide end mill Fi 10.0 mm, 22/72 mm, Z4, HA10 coating, X-MILL 440N

The FANAR solid carbide end mill X-MILL 440N with a 10.0 mm diameter is a precision cutting tool designed for CNC milling of metals and alloys. Its overall length and cutting length follow the 22/72 mm specification and the four-flute geometry provides a balance between material removal rate and surface finish. The HA10 coating enhances wear resistance and tool life when machining a range of steels and non-ferrous materials.

Advantages

The four-flute design delivers stable cutting performance and reduced vibration during profiling and finishing operations. Solid carbide construction ensures rigidity and dimensional stability at higher spindle speeds. The HA10 surface coating offers improved resistance to abrasive and adhesive wear, extending time between tool changes and maintaining consistent edge quality. The tool geometry is optimized for accurate slotting and contouring with predictable chip evacuation in many milling scenarios.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Slotting and side milling in steel and alloy workpieces
• Profiling and contour finishing on CNC milling machines
• High-precision finishing operations where surface quality matters
• Machining of non-ferrous metals and certain cast materials

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10.0 mm
• Cutting length / overall length specification: 22/72 mm
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Material: solid carbide
• Coating: HA10 surface treatment for wear resistance

How to use

Select appropriate spindle speed and feed per tooth according to workpiece material, tool diameter and machine rigidity. For best results, use coolant or mist when machining steels to reduce temperatures and prolong tool life; dry cutting may be acceptable on some non-ferrous materials. Clamp the workpiece securely, ensure correct tool holder runout is minimized, and perform a test cut to verify feeds and speeds before full production. Maintain consistent depth of cut and avoid excessive engagement to prevent premature wear.

Usage recommendations

Use conservative radial engagement and moderate axial depths for finishing passes, and increase chip load carefully for roughing. Regular inspection of the cutting edges and reconditioning or replacement when wear becomes evident will maintain part quality and process stability.
