FANAR solid carbide milling cutter (end mill) FI 14.0 mm, Z4, HA14, X‑MILL 440N

FANAR solid carbide milling cutter FI 14.0 mm, Z4, HA14, X‑MILL 440N is a four-flute end mill designed for precision milling on a range of metals and alloys. With a 14.0 mm diameter and a HA14 grade geometry, this solid carbide tool is intended for slotting, profiling and finishing operations in CNC and manual milling machines. The X‑MILL 440N series provides a balance of wear resistance and dimensional stability suitable for industrial machining tasks that require consistent surface quality.

Advantages

This solid carbide end mill delivers high rigidity and cutting stability due to its four cutting edges and full-carbide construction. The HA14 specification and the X‑MILL 440N series design help maintain edge life under continuous use and reduce the need for frequent tool changes. The tool geometry supports precise chip formation and surface finish control, while the carbide material offers resistance to abrasive wear and thermal deformation during typical milling cycles.

Suitable for

• Slotting operations in steel and non-ferrous alloys
• Profiling and contour milling on CNC machines
• Finishing passes to achieve consistent surface quality
• Manual milling setups where carbide tools are preferred

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 14.0 mm
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Material: solid carbide
• Grade/geometry: HA14
• Series: X‑MILL 440N

How to use

Mount the end mill securely in a compatible collet or tool holder, ensuring concentricity and runout are within the machine and tool holder specifications. Select cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut) according to workpiece material, tool diameter and machine rigidity; begin with conservative speeds and feeds and adjust based on chip formation and surface finish. Use appropriate coolant or through-tool lubrication where applicable to control temperature and evacuate chips. Inspect the cutting edges periodically and replace the tool when wear affects dimensional accuracy or surface quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, optimize spindle speed and feed per tooth for the specific alloy being machined, use adequate chip evacuation methods, and avoid excessive axial depths of cut on thin-walled workpieces. Regular inspection and adherence to machine tool limits will extend tool life and maintain consistent machining results.
