The Super Python: RobbJack's flagship variable-helix, all-center-cutting Tuffy grade end mills — up to 1031% more metal removed per minute in Inconel 718.

  • Variable-helix, all-center-cutting geometry in Tuffy grade carbide, AlTiN coated — built to take the most aggressive cuts in the toughest materials
  • Materials: stainless, super alloys, Inconel, titanium, cast iron, and steels to 40 HRc
  • Headline result: 1031% more metal removed per minute in an Inconel 718 full slot — 0.130 in³/min in one pass vs 0.0127 in³/min for a typical high-performance tool (1/4" tool demonstration)
  • 4 flute (SPS-401 stub, SPS-403 standard, SPS-405 extended) and 5 flute (SPS-501, SPS-503, SPS-505) versions, 1/4"–1" cutting diameter
  • Flute lengths from 1/2" (1/4" stub) up to 2-5/8" on 5" OAL standard-length 1" tools
  • Seven standard corner radii per diameter (e.g. .010"–.190" on catalog sizes) plus ball-end (-BN) versions
  • Optional flats (-FL) for high-torque tool holding
  • Applications: slotting, side milling, helical interpolation, ramping, high-performance roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing — dry, wet, cold air, or spray mist
  • Every part number stocked and made in the USA

All center cutting
All center cuttingThe Super Python's end teeth up close: every flute cuts to center with a protective corner radius, so the tool can plunge, ramp, and helical-interpolate straight into the toughest alloys.
Proof in the cut
Proof in the cutA slotting demonstration cut from the SPS demo: full slots machined pass after pass in round stock — the same demonstration behind the Inconel 718 result of 0.130 in³/min in one pass versus 0.0127 in³/min for a typical high-performance tool.
