Palbit - HiFeed SO10-08 End Mill: 1.00" Diameter, 8.00" Long Weldon Shank, 3-Insert
L. Dewitt's SKU #: 181079000 | Mfr Part #: 181079000The Palbit HiFeed SO10-08 (181079000) is a long-reach high-feed end mill engineered for extreme metal removal rates in deep cavity machining and mold roughing. This 8-inch extended-length tool utilizes a 1-inch cutting diameter and a rigid Weldon shank to provide maximum stability during aggressive roughing operations where tool projection is a challenge.
What This Tool Is Used For
Designed for high-productivity milling, the SO10-08 series excels in face milling, pocketing, and 3D contour roughing. The extended 8.00" overall length makes it the primary choice for reaching into deep cavities in mold & die work or aerospace components that standard-length cutters cannot access.
Advanced Geometry
The tool features a 10° lead angle that directs cutting forces axially up into the spindle. This allows for significantly higher feed rates (up to 0.040" IPT) while reducing radial pressure, which is critical for preventing vibration and chatter in long-overhang setups.
