RobbJack XG Series variable-helix Tuffy grade carbide end mill with dark AlTiN coating

4 and 5 flute variable-helix Tuffy grade end mills for titanium, steels, and high-temp alloys — corner-radius protected, AlTiN coated, with optional flats for high-torque cuts.

  • Four sub-lines: XG-400 4-flute stub, XG-402 4-flute standard, XG-500 5-flute stub, XG-502 5-flute standard — plus XG-402-BN ball end; all variable helix to damp vibration and chatter
  • Tuffy grade carbide, AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coated, for titanium, cast iron, steel, stainless steel, and super alloys up to 40 HRc hardness
  • Inch sizes 1/16"–1" (1/16"–1/8" ride on a 1/8" shank); metric MXG-402 runs 6–20 mm — marked NEW! with smaller sizes added
  • Every size carries a corner radius, from .004 (1/16") to .028–.030 (3/4"–1"); metric .50–1.0 mm; custom radii to order by adding -CR and the size (e.g. XG-400-12-CR.050)
  • Optional flats (-FL) on every inch size — 'Slippage? Tool Holder — Add Flats!' for high-torque cuts; metric tools do not have flats
  • Guide guidelines: enter pockets by helical interpolation or ramping; profile milling preferred over slotting for highest MRR and tool life; climb milling recommended; use shrink-fit or equivalent holders (or flats); reduce feed 10% on ball-end tools
  • Guide warning: published speeds & feeds assume very rigid machines, holders, and fixturing — extreme forces can be generated if conditions aren't appropriate
  • Applications: slotting, side milling, helical interpolation, ramping, high-performance roughing, semi-finishing, finishing — dry, wet, cold air, or spray mist
  • Anti-pull-out shanks: h5 tolerance on 1/4"–5/16", h4 on 3/8"–1" — tightest in the industry
  • Tolerances: cutting dia −.001/−.002, shank −.0001/−.0002, flute length +.060/−.000 (MXG: cutting dia −.025/−.050 mm)

From the RobbJack Applications Guide.

XG-BN ball end
XG-BN ball end — The 4-flute XG-402-BN ball-end version — same variable-helix Tuffy grade body with a full ball nose, in 1/16" through 1" sizes (ball radius .0312" to .5"). The guide's rule: reduce feed rate 10% for ball-end tools.
Slot less, profile more
Slot less, profile more — Guide engagement diagrams for the XG family: full-width slots at reduced axial depth, or light radial profiling passes at up to a full diameter of axial depth — profile milling is preferred over slotting for the highest removal rates and longest tool life.
XG square end
XG square end — The square-end (corner-radius protected) XG with AlTiN coating — every size ships with a built-in corner radius, from .004 on 1/16" up to .028–.030 on 3/4"–1", to protect the corner in hard materials.

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.
