Dense coating with a secure interface
Substrate chemistry and microstructure promote diamond nucleation, reducing the risk of premature coating separation on the 2GEM series during abrasive cutting.

2 Flute Long Shank Square End Mills for Graphite
Diamond coating · individual inspection · dimensional report available
2 Flute Long Shank Square End Mills for Graphite currently shows Ø0.5–20 mm across 37 standard order codes. It combines a fine-grain carbide substrate selected for diamond-deposition compatibility with a square-end geometry for flat pocket floors, slots, shoulders, side walls, and edge milling. Its long-shank reach is intended for deep walls and recessed features, where short projection, low runout, and controlled radial engagement are essential. Two open flutes provide generous chip space for slotting, roughing, and small-diameter cutting.

2GEM coating and edge-retention evidence
A diamond system engineered for graphite, 10x longer life
Wear control at the peripheral edge and end teeth helps retain floor flatness, wall size, and a clean 90-degree feature transition. Its long-shank reach is intended for deep walls and recessed features, where short projection, low runout, and controlled radial engagement are essential.
About 74% less edge retreat after 60 minutes
The shown carbon-resin test records about 0.006 mm edge retreat for diamond coating versus 0.023 mm for TiAlN. For this square-end geometry for flat pocket floors, slots, shoulders, side walls, and edge milling, lower wear supports more consistent profile retention.
AK06 fine-grain carbide substrate
AK06 uses high-quality fine WC powder with controlled grain size and morphology, providing a diamond-compatible substrate for this 2-flute square end graphite end mill family.

Starting parameters for graphite
2F Long Shank Square End cutting data selector
Choose cutter diameter, then select the applicable reach or taper combination to view spindle speed, feed rate, axial depth ap, and radial width ae. Use the result as a test-cut starting point and optimise for machine rigidity, actual overhang, runout, and graphite grade.
Select cutting condition
Use the selection to establish first-piece test-cut settings; final values depend on the machine and setup.

Recommended operations
Deep slots, pockets, shoulders, and high-chip-clearance roughing.
Selection notes
- 2-flute geometry: more chip space for slotting, roughing, and higher-volume removal.
- Control runout and cutting load carefully at long overhang.
- Machine graphite dry with effective vacuum extraction; validate parameters for the graphite grade and CNC setup.
Rigidity and handling
Extreme hardness also means brittleness. Use a rigid CNC, precision holder, and secure workholding; control runout especially on long-reach and small-diameter tools, and avoid impact entry.
2GEM dimensional verification
Verified dimensions on every end mill
ZOLLER inspection for every 2GEM end mill
Cutter diameter, end-face geometry, runout, and cutting-edge condition are checked to support accurate slots, walls, and pocket floors. Long-shank sizes receive particular attention to runout over the extended geometry.
- Default cutter diameter tolerance: -0.020 / 0 mm
- Default cutter corner-radius tolerance: ±0.02 mm

Square end abrasive-material machining
Built for abrasive graphite, carbon fiber, and fiberglass
The 2GEM series uses a square-end geometry for flat pocket floors, slots, shoulders, side walls, and edge milling. Its diamond-coated carbide edge is designed for graphite electrodes and, after application validation, abrasive non-metals such as CFRP and GFRP.
Square ends can machine abrasive composite edges and pockets where a flat floor is required; select entry and support to limit fibre breakout.
