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

Product information

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. What is a slot end mill with radius? A slot end mill with radius is a milling cutter with a rounded cutting-end profile rather than a conventional sharp square end. This geometry allows the tool to produce rounded slot bottoms, curved profiles and smooth transitions while still performing slotting and profiling operations. The two-flute design provides effective chip space, while the centre-cutting geometry allows the cutter to enter the workpiece as well as perform lateral milling where suitable machining conditions are used. 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. Why Choose Maykestag? Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool manufacturer specialising in precision-machined tools for professional metalworking applications. Carefully controlled cutting geometry, tool material and coating technology are important factors in achieving consistent machining performance, tool life and surface quality. The Series 1057 combines HSS-Co8 cutting material with an ALUNIT® coating, short-series construction, two-flute centre-cutting geometry and a radiused cutting end. This combination makes it a versatile choice for workshops, toolrooms and production environments requiring accurate slotting, contouring and profiling with a compact 3mm cutting diameter.
