Product Overview
The CGS Tool HV240-5003 is a 1/2" diameter 4-flute solid carbide square end mill built specifically for high-performance machining where speed, finish, and rigidity all need to come together in the same pass. It belongs to the Hi-Velocity HV Series, CGS Tool's premium high-performance line.
What sets this tool apart is the micro-grain carbide substrate combined with a variable helix geometry — a build meant to fight vibration and hold an edge under demanding conditions. The ALTiN coating adds further heat resistance, and the shorter 5/8" length of cut trades some reach for extra rigidity and control, giving strong results in roughing, finishing, and square-end milling on steels, alloys, and other demanding CNC applications.
