Product Overview
The CGS Tool HV240-5003 has a 1/2” diameter, 4-flute solid carbide square end mill made for high-performance machining in steels and alloys. It comes from the Hi-Velocity (HV) Series and seems to deliver that kind of strength, speed, and pinpoint precision for both roughing and finishing work.
Built from top-quality micro-grain carbide, the HV240-5003 has a variable helix and a variable index-type geometry, plus an ALTiN coating, so it handles heat really well and maintains longer tool life even at high RPMs. The free-cutting style helps the surface finish come out cleaner and boosts chip evacuation, while reducing vibration and wear, so machinists can crank up feeds and speeds further without losing accuracy.
