55 series- Imperial Gen Purpose 35 Degree 4 Flute, Coated Endmill

HRC55 4-Flute Solid Carbide End Mill Imperial TiSiN coated

The 55 series HN55 S4 is a professional-grade 4-flute solid carbide end mill engineered for demanding finishing, profiling, and slotting in hardened and tough metals. Available in HRC55 hardness, it combines a robust micro-grain carbide core with high-rigidity geometry and optional premium coatings for extended tool life and precision in machining applications.

Geometry & Benefits

• 4-flute design: Enhances tool rigidity and control—ideal for achieving high accuracy in finish cuts and shallow slots.

• HRC55 micro-grain carbide: Provides outstanding wear resistance and hardness, enabling durable performance in hardened steels and tool steels.

• 35° helix angle: Offers a balanced blend of smooth cutting, chip evacuation, and vibration damping—excellent for a range of complex materials.

• Multiple coating options (e.g., AlTiN, TiSiN, TiAlN): Customize tool performance—select high-temperature resistance, reduced friction, or maximum surface longevity as needed.

• Ideal for demanding machining: Built to last in high-speed, high-rigidity CNC milling environments or tough manual operations.

Typical Uses & Applications

• Finishing, light profiling, and shallow slotting in hardened steels, mould steels, carbon steels, alloy steels, and cast irons.

• Common in tool & die, automotive hard part, and precision component manufacturing—especially when achieving tight tolerances and mirror-like finishes.

• Suitable for both production CNC setups and rigid manual milling, where reduced deflection is critical.
