Carbide Internal-Radius End Mill Overview
This 4-flute stub-length solid carbide internal-radius end mill is designed for precision radius machining, mold details and smooth curved transitions in steel components. The formed radius profile allows defined internal-radius features to be machined with consistent geometry, while the compact tool length provides a rigid setup for CNC milling. Four cutting edges support stable engagement during profile machining and finishing, and the micro-grain solid carbide substrate provides the strength and dimensional stability required for steel-oriented applications. Standard 4-flute configurations cover radius sizes from R1 to R6 mm.

Internal-Radius Cutting Configuration
Form-Ground Radius Profile
The cutting profile is ground to the specified radius for machining defined internal-radius features, mold details and smooth transitions between adjacent surfaces.
Stub-Length Rigid Design
Compact 50–75 mm standard overall lengths help maintain tool rigidity and reduce unnecessary overhang during precision radius machining.
4-Flute Cutting Geometry
Four cutting edges provide repeated cutting engagement for stable profile machining and consistent surface finishing in steel applications.
Application-Specific Advantages
Defined Radius Geometry
Standard R1–R6 configurations cover common internal-radius and transition requirements.
Four Cutting Edges
The 4-flute layout supports stable cutting engagement during radius profiling and finishing.
Compact Tool Length

Internal-Radius Milling Application Guidance
- Radius Selection: Match the cutter radius directly to the required component radius or existing tool specification.
- Profile Clearance: Check adjacent walls, shoulders and surrounding geometry to ensure the formed cutter can reach the radius without interference.
- Toolholding: Use a clean, low-runout precision holder for consistent radius geometry and surface quality.
- Tool Overhang: Use the shortest practical overhang to take advantage of the stub-length tool configuration.
- Coating Selection: Select the coating according to steel grade, hardness and machining conditions.
4-Flute Internal-Radius End Mill Customization
Arc radius, cutting profile, shank diameter, overall length, cutting-edge preparation and coating can be configured for internal-radius machining, mold details, curved transitions and profile finishing in steel components. Standard 4-flute stub-length 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, adjacent-wall clearance, workpiece material, machining depth, holder configuration and required profile accuracy.
