Description
1/8″ Down-Cut End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated
Overview
Built for clean top-edge finishes and fine detail work. The down-cut geometry pushes chips downward to help prevent top-surface tear-out, making it a great choice for visible parts, inlays, and precision profiling. Nano Blue coating improves heat resistance and tool life on spindle-driven CNC machines.
