Milling cutter coding

[Bernard GreatrixParticipant @bernardgreatrix61453]

Hi All,

I've just taken delivery of a new milling cutter with 4 flutes x 12mm diameter and I'm curious about the coding on the packaging :-

12 x 12 x 26 x 8

One of the 12's is the diameter – 12mm

What is the 2nd 12

26 is the length of the helix

What is the 8 for

Regards

Bernard

The other 12 will be shank diameter

Are you sure there is nothing missing off the end as around 80mm overall length would be right, have a look here for the 4 dimensions

Ask the vendor? The supplier should know! Then tell us all. I'm intrigued.

Thanks Jason – your analysis was spot on. I didn't think about the shank diameter and the label was damaged just after the "8" so I made an assumption (I know, I know, I shouldn't do that)

The ARC table tells all – I'll make a copy and keep it handy

Many thanks

Bernard
