{"product_id":"milling-cutters","title":"Proxxon Solid Tungsten Carbide Milling Cutters — 3-Piece, 1.0\/2.0\/3.0mm, Double Flute, Fishtail (No. 27116)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSolid carbide performance in the smallest sizes. The Proxxon solid tungsten carbide milling cutter set provides three double-flute end mills in 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0mm diameters — the size range where solid carbide's hardness and rigidity matter most. The fishtail (flat-bottom) profile cuts to center, enabling both peripheral milling and plunge boring in the same operation. All three cutters run clockwise and share a common 3.0mm (7\/64\") shank for compatibility with the Micromot collet system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0mm (1\/32\") double-flute solid carbide end mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.0mm (5\/64\") double-flute solid carbide end mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.0mm (7\/64\") double-flute solid carbide end mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank diameter (all three):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0mm (7\/64\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid tungsten carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlutes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (double flute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fishtail — cuts to center, enables boring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting direction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clockwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter diameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0mm (7\/64\") — all three cutters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFerrous metals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron, hardened cast iron, steel, cast steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-ferrous metals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard \u0026amp; brittle materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass, carbon fiber (CFRP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineering plastics and composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Carbide vs. HSS Milling Cutters — Which Do You Need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid carbide (No. 27116) — this set:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harder and more rigid than HSS — essential for cutting hardened steel, cast iron, glass, and CFRP where HSS would wear rapidly.
