Professional 50mm (2″) Indexable Face Mill Kit – R8 Shank

Upgrade Your Bridgeport or Mill-Drill with High-Performance Facing

Transform your milling operations with this heavy-duty 4-Piece Face Milling KitDesigned for rigidity and smooth surface finishes, this set replaces slow fly cutters and expensive solid end mills. Whether you are facing aluminum engine blocks, squaring steel stock, or rapid material removal, the 400R geometry combined with APMT1604 inserts delivers industrial-grade results in your home shop.

Why Choose This Kit?

Rigid R8 Connection: The R8 shank with FMB22 pilot is precision ground to minimize runout, ensuring your cuts are flat and your surface finish is mirror-like.

Cost-Effective Inserts: Uses standard APMT1604 carbide inserts. These are larger, thicker, and more durable than the smaller APMT1135, allowing for deeper cuts and higher feed rates. When an edge dulls, simply rotate it—no re-sharpening required.

90° Square Shoulder: Unlike 45° cutters, the BAP400R geometry allows you to mill flush against 90° shoulders and steps.
