RobbJack HM Series multi-flute 45-degree helix die/mold end mill with AlTiN coating

Multi-flute (4–10 flute) 45° helix die/mold finishers — the best tool for open areas of floors and walls in hardened steels.

  • Multi-flute Tuffy grade end mills with 45° helix, AlTiN coated — flute count scales with diameter: 4 flutes at 1/8"–3/16", 6 flutes at 1/4"–5/8", 8 flutes at 3/4", 10 flutes at 1" (metric 3–25 mm mirrors this)
  • The guide's pick as the best tool for open areas of floors and walls — for tight areas like helical bores or tight corners use the TM/MTM Series
  • Two tip styles: Style A (necked tip with 15° blend angle, on the 1/8"–3/16" and 3–4 mm sizes) and Style C (cutting diameter = shank diameter, 1/4"–1" and 5–25 mm)
  • Corner radius on every size, from .015 (1/8") to .06 (3/4"–1"); metric 0.4–1.5 mm
  • Rated for steels at 40, 50, and 64 HRc — high-performance roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing of side walls; run dry, cold air, or spray mist with air or mist above 40 HRc
  • Profiling guidance: 1 × diameter axial depth with radial width 5% of diameter at 30–50 HRc and 2% at 50–60 HRc; facing/floor finishing at 2% of diameter axial depth and 25% radial width
  • Published speeds & feeds per tool: HM-402-04 (1/8") 17,000–20,000 RPM at 0.0008–0.001 CLPT in 30–40 HRc down to HM-102-32 (1") 1,000–1,700 RPM at 0.0024–0.0049 in 50–60 HRc
  • Use climb milling for better finish and longer tool life; engage by helical interpolation or entering from off the part
  • Special draft angles (blend angle), necked shanks, diameters, lengths, and corner radii available on a make-to-order basis
  • Tolerances: cutting dia −.001/−.002, shank −.0001/−.0002, flute length +.060/−.000 (MHM: cutting dia −.025/−.050 mm)

About this series

HM Series Multi-Flute Die/Mold End Mills

The best tool for open areas of floors and walls.

The HM Series is a multi-flute (4, 6, 8, and 10 flute), 45 degree helix, AlTiN-coated Tuffy-grade carbide corner-radius end mill for die/mold work in hardened materials. It features high-speed geometry and works great in high-speed tool paths, and is the best tool for open areas of floors and walls; for tight areas like helical bores or tight corners RobbJack recommends the TM/MTM Series. The best way to engage the material is by helical interpolation or entering from off the part, and climb milling is recommended for better finish and longer tool life. Special diameters, lengths, corner radii, draft angles, and necked shanks are available make-to-order.

  • 4, 6, 8, and 10 flute corner-radius design, 45 degree helix
  • AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride) coated Tuffy grade carbide
  • High-speed geometry for high-speed tool paths
  • Rated for 40, 50, and 64 HRc hardness
  • Special diameters, lengths, corner radii, draft angles, and necked shanks make-to-order

Hardened materials up to 64 HRc steels (30-60 HRc speed/feed data published). Dry, Cold Air, or Spray Mist; air or mist coolant above 40 HRc. Applications: side milling, high performance, roughing, semi-finishing, finishing.
