End Mill for Hardened Steel 4 Flute Corner Radius End Mill

SAMHO Coated 4-Flute Corner Radius End Mill — The Ultimate Tool for High-Hardness Hardened Steel

Stop letting high-hardness materials compromise your machining efficiency and tool life. The SAMHO 4 flute corner radius end mill is engineered for high-precision CNC machining of hardened steel and other high-hardness steels. Its advanced high-adhesion coating and precision tool geometry have been proven to significantly extend tool life, maintaining stable performance even under high-load, continuous cutting conditions.

Applicable Materials: Optimized for hardened steel, high-hardness steel molds, and wear-resistant components.

Extreme Durability: Made from high-strength, ultra-fine grain carbide and precision-ground, then enhanced with a chemically inert coating. This ensures reliable operation in high-speed and heavy-load cutting environments.

High-Precision Machining: The corner radius cutting tip is ideal for internal angle transitions and complex 3D contours. It delivers smooth surfaces and consistent part dimensions, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of mold and precision part production.

In the field of hardened steel machining, cutting tools must meet extremely high standards for precision and durability. They need to deliver fine, accurate cuts while withstanding the demands of long-term machining on high-hardness materials. SAMHO’s dedicated coated 4-flute corner radius end mills (D1R0.05–D12R1 mm) are engineered to meet these stringent requirements. These high-performance CNC end mills enable operators to efficiently and reliably machine hardened and high-hardness steels, significantly improving both machining efficiency and tool life.


Advanced Technical Features

High-Adhesion Coating for Ultra-Long Tool Life
Our proprietary composite coating technology gives these end mills exceptional hardness and chemical resistance.

  • Wear Resistance: The cutting edges stay sharp even during prolonged, continuous machining of hardened steel.
  • Micro-Chipping Prevention: Ensures the coating remains firmly bonded to the carbide substrate under high-speed, high-load cutting conditions.

Corner Radius Geometry for Complex Profile Machining
The precision-engineered corner radius tip is ideal for machining internal corner transitions and mold cavities in high-hardness hardened steel.

  • High-Precision Surface Finish: Produces smooth, burr-free surfaces on hardened steel parts.
  • Complex 3D Profiling: Perfect for high-quality machining of molds, gauges, and precision components.

High-Efficiency Four-Flute Cutting Design
The sharp four-flute geometry reduces cutting heat and improves chip evacuation.

  • Maximized Chip Evacuation: Rapidly clears chips from the cutting zone to reduce tool wear.
  • Reduced Cutting Load: Minimizes heat buildup, preventing thermal cracking in hardened steel workpieces.

Ultra-Fine Grain Carbide Substrate with Precision Grinding
Made from high-strength, ultra-fine grain carbide and precision-ground for exceptional stability and repeatable accuracy.

  • Dimensional Tolerance Control: Maintains tight tolerances within ±0.01 mm for consistent batch production.
  • Fracture Resistance: Significantly increases tool durability, ideal for machining highly abrasive, high-hardness hardened steel.

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.
