4-flute variable-helix Tuffy grade end mills for cast iron and steels to 40 HRc — stub, standard, and long lengths, AlTiN coated, with optional flats for high-torque cuts.

  • 4 flute, variable helix — the variable pitch damps harmonics for stable cuts in cast iron and steel up to 40 HRc hardness
  • Three lengths per diameter: NS-401 stub, NS-402 standard, NS-403 long (e.g. 1/2": 3/4", 1-1/8", and 1-1/2" flute lengths)
  • Inch sizes 3/16"–1"; metric MNS line runs 4–20 mm
  • Every tool AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coated, in flats (-FL) and no-flats versions — 'Slippage? Tool Holder — Add Flats!' for high-torque cuts
  • Protective corner chamfer on every size, .008 to .02 by diameter (metric 0.2–0.5 mm)
  • Guide engagement guidance: slot at 1 × diameter width and .5 × diameter depth; profile at .5 × diameter radial width and 1 × diameter axial depth
  • Applications: slotting, side milling, helical interpolation, ramping, high-performance roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing — dry or wet
  • Tolerances: NS cutting dia −.001/−.002, shank −.0001/−.0002, flute length +.060/−.000; MNS cutting dia −0.025/−0.050 mm, shank −0.002/−0.005 mm

RobbJack's tested starting numbers for this exact tool, from the same engine and the same default machine as the calculator: a 12,000 RPM / 400 IPM / 30 HP machining center, rigid setup, full-depth cut. A faster or smaller spindle changes the RPM and feed — enter yours in the calculator and it re-governs every number.

Read before you run

Recommendations are computed starting points based on typical conditions — not guarantees of performance, tool life, or fitness for your application. Machining involves inherent risk: you are solely responsible for safe operation, for verifying every parameter against your machine, spindle, toolholding, workholding, and guarding limits, and for proving all parameters on a test cut before production. RobbJack Corporation assumes no liability for tool breakage, machine damage, scrapped parts, production loss, or personal injury arising from use of these recommendations. By using this calculator you accept RobbJack's Terms & Conditions.
