See the diagram below to correlate the dimensions. The dimension Reach is only applicable to the extended reach end mills, as for the stub and standard end mills the reach is the same as the cut length. Also if the Cut Diameter and the Shank Diameter are the same then the Reach dimension also isn’t of much concern, even for the extended reach end mills. 1/4″ cut mill is not available in the extended reach version.
