End mill for metal GEKO 7172601 — cutter diameter 10 mm, cutting length 20 mm, shank 6 mm

High-quality half-round carbide end mill made of tungsten carbide, offering very high hardness and wear resistance. The GEKO 7172601 end mill has a cutter diameter of 10 mm, a cutting length of 20 mm and a 6 mm shank. It is intended for rapid removal of excess welding seams, casting burrs, and for milling tasks on milling machines and CNC equipment in automotive, aviation and shipbuilding industries, as well as for general metalworking where removal of corrosion or unwanted cavities is required.

Advantages

The GEKO 7172601 end mill features alternatingly helical teeth that provide efficient material removal and long tool life thanks to tungsten carbide construction. Its compact dimensions (10 mm cutter diameter, 20 mm cutting length, 6 mm shank) ensure compatibility with small collets and permit precise machining in confined areas. High wear resistance reduces the need for frequent replacements.

Suitable for

• Milling and slotting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Removing welding seams and casting burrs
• Deburring and removing corrosion or cavities
• Use on milling machines and CNC equipment

How to use

Mount the 6 mm shank in a compatible collet or tool holder ensuring secure clamping. Select appropriate machine speeds and feed rates for the workpiece material to avoid overheating and premature wear. Use steady, controlled passes to remove welding seams, burrs, or corrosion, and finish with lighter passes for a cleaner surface. Keep coolant or air blast as required for heat dissipation and chip removal.

Usage recommendations

Use protective equipment (eye and hand protection). Verify tool runout and holder tightness before use. Match spindle speeds and feed to the metal type — reduce speed and increase lubrication when machining stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend tool life.
