Description
The Magnum EM516CF2 premium end mill delivers exceptional structural rigidity and cutting precision when plunging, slotting, and profiling tough alloys in the shop. Designed with a heavy-duty HSS body enriched with 8% cobalt, this industrial cutting tool provides superior thermal resistance to eliminate edge deformation under extreme production conditions.
Features
- 8% Cobalt Formulation – Delivers heightened thermal endurance to preserve edge sharpness during heavy machining.
- Center-Cutting Configuration – Allows for straight-down plunge cutting and precise pocket ramping operations.
- 2-Flute Geometry – Extends chip evacuation clearance to prevent chip packing and weldment during rapid slotting.
- Square Nose Profile – Ensures flat-bottom cutting profiles and high-tolerance sharp internal square corners.

Common Shop Applications
Ideal for plunging deep keyways into carbon steel and machining crisp, flat-bottom pocket contours in non-ferrous raw stock.
Recommended Shop Add-Ons
Pair this tool with Magnum Cutting Fluid to enhance thermal cooling, and protect your hands with a pair of Magnum Safety Gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this end mill plunge directly down into material? A: Yes, because it features a center-cutting configuration, it can feed directly downward into workpieces like a drill bit.
Q: What are the benefits of 8% cobalt over standard HSS? A: The 8% cobalt formulation increases heat resistance, allowing the tool to run at faster speeds without losing its hardness.
