In the machining of high-hardness and heat-treated steels, tool precision and durability are critical. The SAMHO specialized coated 2 flute flat end mill (D0.1-0.8 mm) is engineered to meet these demanding requirements. It delivers exceptional cutting accuracy and superior wear resistance. Designed for high-hardness and heat-treated steels, this end mill enables CNC operators to achieve efficient and stable milling, improving both machining quality and production efficiency.


Advanced Technical Features

High-Adhesion Coating for Ultra-Long Tool Life
SAMHO’s proprietary coating technology provides tools with exceptional hardness and chemical inertness:

  • Wear Resistance: Maintains a sharp cutting edge even during prolonged, continuous machining of high-hardness and heat-treated steels.
  • Micro-Chipping Prevention: Ensures the coating stays firmly bonded to the carbide substrate under high-speed cutting and high-friction conditions.

Cutting-Edge Geometry Optimized for High-Hardness Steel Machining
The precision 2-flute flat-bottom design enables efficient cutting and stable chip evacuation:

  • Efficient “Cold Cutting” Effect: Sharp dual-flute geometry reduces cutting heat and minimizes heat accumulation, preventing cracking in brittle steel.
  • Optimized Chip Evacuation: Quickly removes metal particles from the cutting zone, ensuring stable machining and superior surface finish.

Ultra-Fine Grain Carbide Substrate with Precision Grinding

  • Dimensional Accuracy: Strict tolerance control within ±0.01 mm ensures consistent performance across batch production.
  • Fracture Resistance: Significantly improves tool durability, ideal for machining highly abrasive, heat-treated steels.

Applications

  • 2D and 3D milling of high-hardness and heat-treated steels.
  • Machining mold cavities, precision components, and small-batch, high-precision parts.

Note:

*Decrease both spindle speed and feed rate proportionally when the milling parameters exceed the machine’s maximum spindle speed;

*Recommend oil coolant for Stainless Steels and Heat Resistance Alloys;

*Recommend using a non-contact measuring device to avoid damaging the precisiontip point;

*Decrease both spindle speed and feed rate proportionally in case of chattering;

*When the material hardness is greater than HRC58 degrees, it is recommended to use air blow cooling for roughing andoil mistor air blow cooling for finishing.
