TREND Helical plunge cutter 3mm diameter | 50/03X1/4HSSE

Trend 50/03X1/4HSSE helical plunge cutter, 3mm diameter & 1/4" shank

The Trend 50/03X1/4HSSE helical plunge cutter is a single flute cutter designed for drilling, recessing and slotting, with a spiral geometry that supports clean plunging and lateral slot milling. It’s suited to workshop and site users machining aluminium and plastics where controlled slotting and accurate recess work are required.

Model 50/03X1/4HSSE is made from HSSE, intended for machining abrasive anodised finishes, and is ideal for tasks such as cutting slots in extrusions and similar profiling work when the material is securely clamped.

Key Features

• Single flute helical design: Supports drilling and slotting with effective chip clearance during plunging and milling.
• Plunge and lateral slot capability: Designed to plunge into the work and machine sideways for controlled slots and recesses.
• HSSE construction: Suitable for machining the most abrasive anodised finishes.
• For aluminium and plastics: Intended for cutting aluminium (including anodised duralium) and uPVC plastic.
• Extrusion slotting: Well suited to recessing and slotting aluminium extrusions where a compact cutter diameter is required.
