STS PD65 12.0xD12x30x75

Description

STS PD65 12.0xD12x30x75 is a dependable solid carbide end mill designed for CNC machining of hardened materials up to 65 HRC. Part of the PD65 normal-quality series, this end mill is engineered to deliver stable cutting performance, consistent tool life, and reliable surface finish in applications such as die & mould machining, automotive components, aerospace tooling, and precision engineering work. With a 12 mm cutting diameter, 30 mm flute length, and 75 mm overall length, it provides an excellent balance of rigidity and reach for semi-finishing and finishing operations in hardened steels.

Manufactured from high-quality micro-grain carbide rod, the STS PD65 end mill offers strong edge toughness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, allowing smooth and predictable performance during high-speed CNC milling. It is suitable for machining D2 tool steel, hardened P20, alloy steels, and other materials in the 55–65 HRC range commonly used in mould and die production. The optimized cutting geometry helps reduce vibration and cutting load, supporting dimensional accuracy and uniform surface quality.

The D12 shank ensures secure clamping with low run-out, improving machining stability and minimizing chatter. Its flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and lowering the risk of edge chipping during continuous machining cycles. This makes the tool suitable for a wide range of CNC operations including profile milling, pocket milling, slotting, and contour machining on vertical machining centers and high-speed milling machines.
