Drill America DWCT104A End Mill
The Drill America DWCT104A is a high-speed steel double-end long end mill with a 9/64 inch cutting diameter and a 3/16 inch shank. It is designed for general-purpose milling tasks such as profiling, open-ended slots and keyways across a wide range of materials. The two-flute geometry provides reliable chip evacuation for versatile workshop applications. Machinists and fabricators seeking a durable, general-purpose cutter will find this tool suitable for everyday milling operations.
High-Speed Steel Cutting Limits
High-speed steel construction offers toughness and durability for general milling, yet it has lower heat resistance than carbide alternatives. Cutting speeds must be reduced when working harder alloys to avoid premature wear or tool failure. The double-end design effectively provides two cutting ends per tool, though overall tool life per end remains governed by the material properties of high-speed steel. Users should match feeds and speeds to the specific workpiece material to maintain cutting performance and longevity.
Shank And Clearance Check
Verify that your tool holder or collet accepts a 3/16 inch shank before ordering. Confirm that the machine spindle provides adequate clearance for the double-end long overall length to avoid interference with fixtures or the workpiece. Ensure the workpiece material is compatible with high-speed steel cutting parameters to achieve the expected tool life. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
