Reduced Shank HSS M2 Ripper (22mm Dia) for Maximum Material Removal in Limited Holders in Canada.
The Snail Tools HSS M2 Roughing End Mill is a specialized, extra-large cutting tool designed for extreme material removal by offering a massive 22 mm cutting diameter while fitting into a standard 20 mm tool holder (Reduced Shank design). Its specialized roughing geometry efficiently breaks chips into small pieces, allowing for deepest cuts and highest feed rates while significantly reducing cutting forces and chatter. The robust HSS M2 material provides an excellent balance of toughness and economy for hogging and heavy-duty roughing applications in mild steel, carbon steel, and cast iron across Ontario and the GTA.
Key Features & Reduced Shank Advantage
-
Reduced Shank: Features an 22 mm Cut Diameter (D) on a smaller 20 mm Shank Diameter (d), maximizing the material removal capacity for machines with limited collet sizes (e.g., those capped at 20 mm).
-
Design: Roughing Geometry (Ripper/Hogging) – Breaks chips into small segments, which minimizes chatter, reduces cutting forces, and enables the highest achievable Material Removal Rates (MRR) for rapid stock reduction.
-
Material: HSS M2 (High-Speed Steel) – A cost-effective and reliable material with good toughness, ideal for handling the high shock loads and demanding conditions of heavy roughing.
-
Application: Essential for rapidly reducing stock size before a final finishing pass, significantly decreasing overall machining time on large industrial components.
