4-Flute Long Neck Carbide Square End Mill
This 4-flute solid carbide long-neck square end mill is designed for precision machining in recessed areas, deep cavities, narrow grooves and rib features where a standard-length tool cannot reach. The reduced-neck construction provides additional clearance from the workpiece wall, while the square-end profile and four cutting edges support light side milling, profiling and finishing in carbon steel, alloy steel, mold steel and confirmed pre-hardened steel within the HRC55 series range.
Long-Neck Access for Recessed Features

Long-Neck Machining Guidance
Minimize Projection
Use only the neck reach required for the feature and keep holder projection as short as practical.
Reduce Engagement
Lower radial and axial engagement as neck length and effective overhang increase.
Control Runout
Use a precision holder and verify spindle and tool runout before machining.
Maintain Chip Removal
Use a suitable air blast or coolant strategy and avoid chip recutting in deep features.
HRC55 4-Flute Long-Neck Square End Mill Customization
Cutting diameter, cutting-edge length, neck diameter, effective neck length, shank dimensions, overall length, four-flute geometry, square-end profile, cutting-edge preparation and coating can be reviewed for recessed, narrow and deep-cavity steel-milling applications. The long-neck and reduced-neck configuration provides additional machining reach and workpiece-wall clearance, while custom dimensions are evaluated according to feature depth, workpiece hardness, tool engagement, machine rigidity and required dimensional accuracy.
