2 Flute Solid Carbide End Mill for Aluminum (High Polish)

Maximize your material removal rates (MRR) in aluminum and non-ferrous metals with our High-Polish 2 Flute Solid Carbide End Mills.
Designed specifically to solve the problem of material adhesion ("gummy" cutting), these cutters feature a mirror-polished flute surface and a high helix angle. This allows chips to slide effortlessly out of the cutting zone, enabling high-speed slotting and roughing without clogging.

Key Features & SEO Benefits

  • Mirror-Polished Finish: The ultra-smooth surface eliminates friction, preventing the "built-up edge" (welding) common when machining Aluminum 6061, 7075, and Copper.
  • Large Chip Gullets: The 2-flute design maximizes the space available for chip evacuation, making it perfect for heavy slotting and plunging operations.
  • Reinforced Rigidity (Small Sizes):

    4.0mm feature a standardized 4mm Shank. This extra thickness provides superior stability and reduces breakage compared to standard thin-shank tools.
  • Sharp Cutting Edge: Razor-sharp edge prep ensures a burr-free finish on soft plastics and acrylics.

Applications

  • High-Speed Machining (HSM): Suitable for high RPM spindle operations.
  • Slotting: Aggressive deep channel cutting with excellent chip clearance.
  • Plunging: Center-cutting geometry allows for direct drilling into the material.
  • Materials: Aluminum Alloys, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Plastics (Acrylic, Nylon, ABS).

Why Choose Polished Cutters for Aluminum?

Using a coated steel cutter (like AlTiN) on aluminum causes the aluminum to chemically bond with the coating, ruining the tool. Our polished uncoated carbide is chemically inert to aluminum, ensuring a longer tool life and a superior surface finish.
