This Shars indexable end mill is a workhorse for your milling machine. It has a 1.5-inch cutting diameter and a 90-degree lead angle, making it great for facing off material, shoulder milling, and square profiling. It comes with an R8 shank, which fits directly into the spindle of many popular benchtop and Bridgeport-style milling machines. The kit includes the cutter body, three TPG32 carbide inserts (a common and affordable insert style), a key, and locking screws. The design is high-positive for free-cutting action and reduced vibration, especially on longer reach jobs. The inserts are indexable—when one cutting edge gets dull, you simply loosen the screw, rotate the insert to a fresh edge, and tighten it back up. This is way more economical than buying solid carbide end mills for heavy material removal. A versatile and cost-effective tool for machinists, hobbyists, and shop owners. Perfect for steel, aluminum, and other metals.
