Micro 100 Corner Rounding End Mill CRE-125-030 Double‑Ended 0.060″

Description

Product Overview

The Micro 100 CRE-125-030 corner rounding end mill is a precision‑engineered cutting tool designed for high‑performance CNC machining. With a 0.060 inch flute and a .030 inch radius, this double‑ended end mill delivers consistent material removal while maintaining tight tolerances on corner radii. Constructed from high‑speed steel with an optional AlTiN coating, the tool offers excellent wear resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys. The 1/8 inch shank diameter and 2 inch overall length provide a balanced rigidity that minimizes deflection during high‑speed operations, while the 0.005 inch maximum lead‑in length ensures smooth entry into the workpiece. The tool’s geometry includes a 1 degree max flare tangent at both pilot and shoulder, which eliminates steps and burrs, resulting in a cleaner finish and reduced post‑processing time.

Usage

This end mill excels in applications where precise corner rounding is critical, such as aerospace component fabrication, medical device manufacturing, and high‑precision automotive parts. It is ideal for creating smooth transitions between intersecting surfaces, reducing stress concentrations and improving part longevity. The double‑ended configuration allows machinists to flip the tool and continue cutting without changing fixtures, effectively doubling productivity on the shop floor. Whether you are machining complex 3‑D contours or simple 2‑D profiles, the Micro 100 CRE-125-030 provides reliable performance in both prototype and production environments. Its compact size makes it compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders, ensuring seamless integration into existing CNC setups.

FAQ

What materials can I machine with this end mill?

The CRE-125-030 is suitable for a variety of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium alloys. The optional AlTiN coating further expands its capability to handle harder, heat‑treated steels.

How do I determine the correct spindle speed for this tool?

Recommended spindle speeds depend on the material being cut. As a general guideline, use 15,000–20,000 RPM for aluminum, 10,000–15,000 RPM for brass, and 8,000–12,000 RPM for stainless steel. Always refer to the material’s cutting speed chart for optimal results.

Can I use this end mill in a high‑speed machining (HSM) environment?

Yes. The tool’s geometry and optional AlTiN coating are designed to perform well at high spindle speeds, providing stable cutting and reduced heat buildup.

What is the advantage of the double‑ended design?

The double‑ended configuration allows you to flip the tool and continue machining without removing it from the workpiece, effectively halving the time spent on tool changes and increasing overall throughput.

Is there a warranty or guarantee for this product?

Micro 100 offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Our customer service team is ready to assist with any issues, ensuring you receive a replacement or repair promptly.
