Product Overview
The CGS Tool HV240-5004 has a 1/2” diameter 4-flute, solid carbide square end mill made for high-performance machining in steels and alloys. It’s part of the Hi-Velocity (HV) Series, so you get that steady strength, speed, and precision for both roughing and finishing kinds of jobs.
Built from premium micro-grain carbide, the HV240-5004 has a variable helix and variable index geometry, plus an ALTiN coating for exceptional heat resistance and longer service life at high RPMs. The free-cutting design helps with surface finishes and chip evacuation, and it also reduces vibration and wear, allowing machinists to push feeds and speeds even further without losing accuracy.
