FANAR solid carbide end mill R440N Ø12.0 mm, 26/83 mm, Z4, HA12, VHM, TS 440N

FANAR solid carbide end mill R440N Ø12.0 mm is a four-flute cutting tool designed for precision milling in metals. With a 12.0 mm diameter, 26 mm cutting length and 83 mm overall length, the tool combines solid carbide construction and HA12 coating in TS 440N geometry to deliver high rigidity and wear resistance for demanding machining tasks. The tool is intended for slotting, profiling and face milling where dimensional accuracy and surface quality are important.

Advantages

The solid carbide construction provides high stiffness and thermal stability during heavy cuts. The HA12 coating increases wear resistance and reduces built-up edge, extending tool life in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. TS 440N geometry and four flutes (Z4) offer a balance between chip evacuation and surface finish, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatable results under varied cutting conditions.

Suitable for

• Slotting in mild steel, alloy steel and stainless steel
• Profiling and contour milling where edge quality is required
• Face milling for finishing passes on metal parts
• Medium to high rigidity setups and CNC machining centres

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 12.0 mm
• Cutting length: 26 mm
• Overall length: 83 mm
• Number of flutes: 4 (Z4)
• Material: solid carbide (VHM)
• Coating: HA12
• Geometry: TS 440N

How to use

Mount the end mill in a suitable collet or tool holder ensuring proper concentricity and runout control. Select cutting parameters based on the workpiece material, machine rigidity and tooling guidance: use moderate radial engagement for slotting and increase axial depth gradually for profiling operations. Apply appropriate coolant or cutting fluid when machining ferrous materials to control temperature and flush chips. Monitor tool wear and adjust feeds and speeds to maintain surface finish and dimensional tolerances.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, start with manufacturer-recommended cutting speeds and feed per tooth for the specific workpiece material, verify machine rigidity, and ensure correct clamping. Reduce cutting depth and feed if excessive vibration or poor surface finish occurs, and replace the tool when wear affects accuracy or surface quality.
