Maykestag HSS-Co8 end mill 5mm short series DIN 844 K

Maykestag HSS-Co8 end mill 5mm short series DIN 844 K

Professional 5mm short-series end mill manufactured from HSS-Co8, featuring four flutes, a 40° spiral angle and Type N geometry for general-purpose milling, slotting and face milling applications.

The Maykestag Code 1616 is a precision HSS-Co8 end mill manufactured to DIN 844 K for professional milling applications. Its four-flute geometry and 40° spiral angle provide a balanced cutting action and efficient chip removal during general milling operations. The short-series design provides a compact tool configuration that supports increased rigidity and helps reduce tool deflection. With a 5mm cutting diameter and 6mm shank, this cutter is well suited to precision machining where controlled cutting performance and dimensional accuracy are required.

What is an HSS-Co8 end mill? An HSS-Co8 end mill is a milling cutter manufactured from cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel. The addition of cobalt improves the material's resistance to heat and wear, making HSS-Co8 suitable for demanding milling applications. End mills are used to machine slots, shoulders, profiles, faces and other features by combining cutting action at the end and along the circumference of the tool. Product highlights

• HSS-Co8 construction: Cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel provides good toughness, heat resistance and cutting-edge durability for professional milling applications.
