Pluto 1/4 X 1/4 X 5/8 X 2.1/8 Inch Slot Drill with Parallel Shank

Key Features:

1. Cutting Diameter:
   • 1/4 Inch: The 1/4-inch cutting diameter is perfect for precision slotting tasks, particularly in applications that require small, narrow slots, keyways, or grooves. This size is commonly used for smaller components or parts with tight tolerances where minimal material removal is needed.
2. Shank Diameter:
   • 1/4 Inch Parallel Shank: The tool features a 1/4-inch parallel shank, ensuring a secure and stable connection to your machine. The parallel design means the diameter is uniform along the shank, reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring consistent, precise operation.
3. Cutting Length:
   • 5/8 Inch: The 5/8-inch cutting length is ideal for making moderate-depth cuts without going too deep into the material. This cutting length is commonly used for general-purpose machining operations and provides enough reach for most slotting tasks in thinner materials.
4. Total Length:
   • 2.1/8 Inches (2.125 inches): The 2.125-inch overall length offers a balanced tool length that provides enough reach for most general slotting and keyway applications without being too long, making it maneuverable for precision tasks.
5. Material:
   • High-Speed Steel (HSS): The HSS construction offers excellent hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for high-speed cutting applications. HSS tools maintain sharp edges even at elevated temperatures, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of materials.

Applications:

The Pluto 1/4 X 1/4 X 5/8 X 2.1/8 Inch Slot Drill is versatile and can be used in a variety of machining operations:

• Slotting: The tool is perfect for creating narrow slots in materials such as steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. Its 1/4-inch cutting diameter makes it particularly well-suited for smaller, more precise slots or grooves.
• Keyway Cutting: Used extensively in industries that require precision keyways, such as automotive and manufacturing, the tool is ideal for cutting keyways in shafts, pulleys, or gears. Its small size ensures that it can create tight-fitting keyways for secure assemblies.
• Grooving: The tool can also be used for general grooving tasks, such as cutting grooves for parts to fit together, forming structural channels, or for decorative purposes in materials like plastic and metal.
• Metalworking: The HSS material ensures that this slot drill is effective for cutting a wide range of metals, including harder alloys and stainless steel. It is perfect for high-precision tasks where accuracy is critical.
• Plastic and Composite Machining: While its primary use is in metals, this tool is also suitable for softer materials like plastics, composites, and other non-ferrous materials. It allows for clean, precise cutting without chipping or excessive wear.
• CNC and Milling Operations: This tool is commonly used in CNC milling machines or manual milling machines for high-precision tasks that require fine, detailed slotting or grooving. It is ideal for both low-volume production and high-precision tasks.

Advantages:

1. Precision Cutting: The 1/4-inch diameter is ideal for precision slotting and keyway cutting, allowing the tool to produce clean and accurate cuts with smooth finishes. This is crucial for ensuring tight fits in mechanical assemblies.
2. Durability: Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS), the tool is durable and wear-resistant. HSS is capable of retaining its sharpness and cutting performance, even during extended use or when working with harder materials. This results in longer tool life and fewer replacements.
3. Stable Fit: The parallel shank design ensures that the tool fits securely into the collet or chuck of the machine, minimizing vibrations and tool movement during operation. This leads to smoother cuts and more accurate results.
4. Compact and Efficient: The 2.125-inch total length provides sufficient reach for general slotting tasks while maintaining a compact design that is easy to maneuver, especially in tight spaces or when working with smaller components.
5. Versatility: This tool works on a wide range of materials, including metals (steel, aluminum, brass), plastics, and composites. It can be used in various industries, from automotive and aerospace to general machining and fabrication.
6. Clean Cuts: The precision-engineered cutting edges of the tool ensure that the slot or keyway is smooth and burr-free, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations.

Specifications:

• Cutting Diameter: 1/4 inch (0.25″)
• Shank Diameter: 1/4 inch (0.25″)
• Cutting Length: 5/8 inch (0.625″)
