A long neck corner radius end mill is a specialized cutting tool used in milling operations to machine complex contours, rounded corners, and precise workpiece features. This type of end mill is characterized by its elongated neck, which provides extended reach and clearance in hard-to-reach workpiece areas. The term "corner radius" refers to the rounded cutting edge at the tool's tip, which helps reduce stress concentrations and produces smoother finishes than sharp-edged tools.

The long neck of this end mill allows for deep cavity machining, intricate detailing, and profiling operations, making it well-suited for applications where access and precision are critical considerations. The extended reach provided by the long neck enables the tool to reach recessed features and narrow channels while maintaining stability and rigidity during the cutting process.

Long neck corner radius end mills are commonly constructed from high-quality materials such as solid carbide or high-speed steel (HSS), offering excellent hardness, wear resistance, and durability. The carbide construction, in particular, allows for high-speed machining operations and prolonged tool life, even in demanding manufacturing environments.

These end mills feature a corner radius at the cutting edge, which helps minimize tool wear, reduces the risk of chipping, and improves surface finish by distributing cutting forces more evenly. This makes them suitable for machining various materials, including metals, plastics, composites, and exotic alloys.

In CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining applications, long neck corner radius end mills are often programmed to follow precise toolpaths generated from CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models. This enables the production of intricate components and parts with tight tolerances and complex geometries, making them essential tools in aerospace, automotive, mould-making, and precision engineering.
