Maykestag Solid Carbide End Mill 12mm Speedcut Universal Long Series

Professional 12mm Speedcut-Universal long-series solid carbide end mill featuring HPC geometry, four cutting flutes, unequal 35°-38° spiral angles, ALUNIT-S® coating and a precision DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank for high-performance milling.

The Maykestag Code 7217 Speedcut-Universal is a high-performance solid carbide end mill engineered for demanding milling operations across a broad range of metallic materials. Its unequal spiral-angle geometry helps produce a smooth, controlled cutting action, while the rigid solid-carbide construction provides the dimensional stability required for accurate professional machining. The 12mm cutter features four flutes and a long-series design for applications requiring additional reach.

What is a variable-helix solid carbide end mill? A variable-helix end mill uses cutting flutes with differing spiral geometry rather than identical flute angles. On the Maykestag Code 7217, the spiral geometry varies between 35° and 38°. This arrangement is designed to provide a controlled milling action while the solid-carbide construction gives the cutter high rigidity and wear resistance for professional machining applications.

Product highlights

  • Solid carbide construction: VHM solid carbide provides high rigidity, dimensional stability and excellent cutting-edge wear resistance.
  • Speedcut-Universal geometry: Designed as a versatile high-performance milling cutter for a broad range of suitable engineering materials.
  • HPC milling cutter: High-performance cutting geometry developed for productive professional machining.
  • 4-flute design: Four cutting edges provide efficient material removal and stable cutting performance during milling operations.
  • Unequal spiral geometry: Different spiral angles between 35° and 38° provide a controlled cutting action during milling.
  • Long-series design: Provides additional reach compared with shorter cutter configurations.
  • ALUNIT-S® coating: High-performance Maykestag coating applied to the cutting section for demanding machining applications.
  • 45° corner chamfer: The 12mm cutter incorporates a 0.25mm corner chamfer at 45°.
  • DIN 6535-HA shank: Cylindrical HA shank form for secure precision tool holding in compatible systems.
  • Precision tolerances: Cutting diameter manufactured to h10 tolerance with an h6 shank diameter.

Why Choose Maykestag?

Maykestag is an Austrian cutting-tool brand specialising in precision-manufactured tools for professional machining. Accurate control of carbide quality, cutting geometry, coatings and dimensional tolerances is especially important with high-performance milling cutters, where small differences can directly influence cutting stability, accuracy and tool life.

The Code 7217 Speedcut-Universal series combines solid-carbide construction, unequal 35°-38° spiral geometry, ALUNIT-S® coating and a long-series design. The result is a versatile professional cutter developed for productive milling across a wide range of suitable steels and cast materials.

Designed for High-Performance Universal Milling

The Code 7217 combines rigid solid-carbide construction with unequal spiral angles to provide a stable cutting geometry for professional milling. The four-flute configuration provides multiple cutting edges for efficient material removal, while the long-series construction provides additional machining reach. The ALUNIT-S® coating supports demanding cutting conditions. When used with appropriate cutting speed, feed rate, workholding and machining parameters, the cutter is designed to provide accurate machining, controlled cutting performance and dependable tool life.
