MAYKESTAG ALUNIT HSS-Co8 Slot End Mill With Radius 3mm Short Series

Maykestag ALUNIT HSS-Co8 Slot End Mill With Radius 3mm Short Series

Professional 3mm short-series slot end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8 and coated with ALUNIT®, featuring a radiused cutting end, two flutes, centre-cutting geometry and a 30° Type N normal helix for accurate contouring, profiling, slotting and general milling applications.

The Maykestag Series 1057 is a precision HSS-Co8 slot end mill with a radiused cutting end, designed for accurate machining of slots, curved profiles, rounded transitions and contoured surfaces. The two-flute, centre-cutting geometry provides a versatile cutting action for both end and peripheral milling operations, while the short-series construction provides increased rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection during machining. The ALUNIT® coating provides a hard TiAlN-based surface coating designed to reduce friction, heat load and cutting-edge wear, supporting increased cutting speeds, productivity and consistent machining performance.

Product highlights

• HSS-Co8 construction: High-cobalt high-speed steel provides a combination of hardness, toughness and heat resistance suitable for professional milling applications.
• ALUNIT® coating: Super-hard TiAlN-based coating designed to reduce friction, heat load and cutting-edge wear while supporting higher cutting speeds and improved productivity.
• 3mm cutting diameter: Compact cutting diameter for precision slotting, profiling and contouring applications where a smaller cutter is required.
• Radiused cutting end: Produces rounded transitions and radiused slot profiles without the sharp internal corner associated with a conventional square-end cutter.
• Short-series design: The compact construction increases tool rigidity and helps minimise deflection during machining.
• Two-flute geometry: Provides useful flute space for chip evacuation during slotting and general milling operations.
• Centre cutting: Cutting edges extend across the centre, allowing the cutter to enter the workpiece as well as perform lateral milling.
• Type N geometry: Normal helix geometry intended for general-purpose milling applications.
• 30° spiral angle: Provides a balanced cutting action and assists with chip evacuation.
• WN specification: Manufactured according to the specified Maykestag works-standard geometry.
• DIN 1835-B shank: Shank form with driving flat for secure tool holding in suitable toolholding systems.
