Maykestag HSS-Co8 end mill 20mm short series DIN 844 K
Professional 20mm short-series end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8, featuring
four flutes, a 40° spiral angle and Type N geometry for high-performance
general-purpose milling, finishing and profiling applications.
The Maykestag Code 1616 is a precision HSS-Co8 end mill manufactured to DIN
844 K for professional milling applications. Its four-flute geometry and
40° spiral angle provide a balanced cutting action and efficient chip
removal while supporting high material removal rates and good surface quality.
The short-series design provides a compact tool configuration that increases
rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection. With a 20mm cutting diameter and
20mm shank, this cutter is well suited to demanding general-purpose milling
applications where stable cutting performance, efficient material removal and
dimensional accuracy are required.
cutter manufactured from cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel. The addition of
cobalt improves resistance to heat and wear, making HSS-Co8 suitable for
demanding milling applications. End mills are used to machine slots,
shoulders, profiles, faces and other features through cutting action at the
end and along the circumference of the tool.
