HRC55 Carbide Internal-Radius End Mill Overview
This HRC55 4-flute solid carbide internal-radius end mill is designed for precision machining of internal corner radii, concave profiles, cavity features and smooth surface transitions in steel components. The precision-ground formed profile allows a defined internal radius to be machined directly, while the 4-flute cutting geometry provides repeated tooth engagement during form milling and finishing operations. Solid carbide construction provides the rigidity required for CNC machining of carbon steel, alloy steel, mold steel and pre-hardened steel applications up to approximately HRC55.

HRC55 Internal-Radius End Mill Customization
Arc radius, formed cutting profile, cutter dimensions, neck geometry, shank diameter, overall length, cutting-edge preparation and coating can be configured for internal-radius machining, concave form milling, cavity profiling and smooth-transition finishing in steel components. Standard 4-flute configurations cover R1–R6 mm radius sizes with Ø4–Ø14 mm shank diameters and 50–75 mm overall lengths. Non-standard radius profiles and dimensions can be reviewed according to the component drawing, steel grade, hardness, feature clearance, machining depth and required profile accuracy.
| PARAMETER | MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES |
|---|---|
| Arc Radius | Standard 4-flute radius configurations include R1, R1.5, R2, R2.5, R3, R4, R5 and R6 mm. Non-standard radii can be reviewed according to the finished component profile or existing cutter specification. |
| Internal-R Profile | The formed cutting profile can be matched to internal corner radii, concave features and smooth surface transitions. Complete profile geometry should be confirmed from the component drawing for non-standard applications. |
