Description

1/4" Down-Cut End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated

Overview
Built for clean top-edge finishes where surface quality matters more than chip evacuation. The down-cut geometry pushes chips into the cut to help minimize tear-out, making it a strong choice for visible edges, final passes, and veneered materials. Nano Blue coating improves heat resistance and tool life.
