Description
Palbit - HiFeed SO10-08 End Mill: 1.00" Diameter, 5.00" Long Weldon Shank, 3-Insert
L. Dewitt's SKU #: 181078900 | Mfr Part #: 181078900The Palbit HiFeed SO10-08 (181078900) is a high-performance milling cutter designed for rapid metal removal and maximum stability. This 5-inch standard-length tool features a 1-inch cutting diameter and a 3-insert configuration, providing the ideal balance of rigidity and speed for medium-sized pocketing and roughing operations.
Performance Roughing
As the standard-reach counterpart to the extended 181079000 model, this cutter is optimized for maximum metal removal rates (MRR) where extreme projection is not required. It is a workhorse for face milling, shallow pocketing, and 2D contouring in a wide variety of industrial materials.
Cutting Geometry
Utilizing a 10° lead angle, the [SO10-08 series](https://palbitusa.com/en/products/cutting/milling/hifeed-cutters/hifeed-so10-08/hifeed-so10-w-08-%7C-so..w-08--soet-08/181079000) converts radial cutting forces into axial forces directed toward the machine spindle. This minimizes vibration and allows for aggressive feed-per-tooth values, significantly reducing cycle times compared to conventional end mills.
