Micro 100 SME-017-2X 0.017in 2-Flute Tapered Carbide End Mill

The Micro 100 SME-017-2X is a new, USA-made solid submicron carbide tapered end mill from Micro 100's "Super Carbide" line, featuring a 0.017 in (0.432 mm) tip diameter, 2 flutes, and a long tapered neck geometry that provides exceptional reach-to-tip access in deep-cavity and micro-mold applications. The "SME" series designates a square-end tapered profile with the shank diameter matching the body OD (typically 1/8 in / 3.175 mm for this size class), while the "2X" suffix indicates an extended-length variant for increased reach. Constructed from submicron grain carbide with a dark AlTiN-style PVD coating (evidenced by the black finish visible in the photo), this tool delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for micro-machining hardened steels, stainless steel, titanium, and non-ferrous alloys in CNC milling applications requiring fine feature definition. Compatible with standard 1/8 in collets (ER11, ER16, or equivalent) on high-speed machining centers and CNC routers.
