3-flute metric carbide end mills for aluminum, with high helix and polished flutes to prevent chip re-cutting and built-up edge. Suitable for 6061, 7075, 2024 alloys, pro...

Features and details

Features and Details
-2-flute / 3-flute large flute design — generous chip space effectively prevents aluminum chip re-cutting and built-up edge formation.
-High helix geometry (35°–45°) — smooth chip evacuation with low cutting resistance and low heat generation.
-Mirror-polished flute surface — ultra-smooth finish significantly reduces aluminum adhesion and built-up edge (BUE) formation.
-Ultra-fine grain solid carbide substrate — sharp cutting edges, high hardness, and excellent toughness.
-Uncoated or with DLC / TiB₂ anti-stick coatings — avoids chemical bonding between standard coatings and aluminum.
-Plain shank with center-cutting design — compatible with various CNC tool holders; supports plunge cutting and drill-mill operations.
-Typical applications — milling of 6061 / 7075 / 2024 aluminum alloys, aluminum profile cavity machining, aluminum heat sinks, electronic enclosures, aerospace and model aircraft aluminum parts, and deburring & finishing of die-cast aluminum components.
