Extreme Reduced Shank HSS M2 Ripper (25mm Dia) for Maximum Stock Removal in Limited Holders in Canada.
The Snail Tools HSS M2 Roughing End Mill is a specialized, extra-large cutting tool engineered for extreme material removal by offering a massive 25 mm cutting diameter while utilizing a common 20 mm tool holder (Extreme Reduced Shank design). Its specialized roughing geometry efficiently breaks chips into small, manageable pieces, allowing for the deepest cuts and highest feed rates while reducing cutting forces and minimizing chatter. The robust HSS M2 material provides an excellent balance of toughness and economy for demanding hogging applications in mild steel, carbon steel, and cast iron across Ontario and the GTA.
Key Features & Extreme Reduced Shank Advantage
-
Reduced Shank: Features a monumental 25 mm Cut Diameter (D) on a smaller 20 mm Shank Diameter (d), maximizing material removal capacity for machines limited to $20\text{ mm}$ collet sizes.
-
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.1
-
Application: Essential for rapidly removing large amounts of stock before a final finishing pass, significantly decreasing overall machining time on heavy industrial components.
