Magnum 3/16 Inch 4 Flute Cobalt End Mill with 3/8 Inch Shank Precision Mill (EM316C)

Maintaining structural rigidity in small-diameter profiling is essential for achieving tight tolerances in tough materials. This 3/16" cobalt end mill features a 3/8" shank for industrial-grade stiffness, significantly reducing chatter and tool flex. The 4-flute M42 cobalt construction is designed for high-heat peripheral profiling in stainless steel and high-tensile alloys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why a 3/8" shank for a 3/16" tool? A: The larger shank provides the mass and stiffness required to eliminate vibration at the high RPMs needed for small-diameter tools.

Q: Is this tool center-cutting? A: Yes, it is designed for vertical plunging and profiling operations.
