Solid Tungsten Carbide 3 Flute End Mill for Aluminum CNC Machining | Uncoated Mirror Finish

Maximize your CNC efficiency with our 3-Flute Solid Carbide End Mills for Aluminum. High-polish flutes for superior chip removal. Sizes 1.05mm-11.9mm available. Factory direct price & Fast shipping.

Product Function

Designed specifically for high-speed machining of non-ferrous materials, our 3 Flute Tungsten Carbide End Mill is the ultimate tool for milling Aluminum alloys, Copper, Brass, and Plastics.
The 3-flute geometry offers the perfect balance between chip evacuation space and core strength, making it ideal for:
  • Slotting: Deep chip pockets allow for aggressive material removal rates (MRR).
  • Side Milling / Profiling: Provides a superior surface finish.
  • Plunging & Ramping: Excellent vertical cutting capabilities.

Product Features

  • Mirror Polished Flutes: Our specialized grinding process creates an ultra-smooth flute surface. This significantly reduces friction and prevents "chip welding" or built-up edge (BUE), which is common when machining gummy aluminum.
  • Premium Material: Manufactured from Ultra-Fine Micro Grain Tungsten Carbide, ensuring high wear resistance and long tool life even at high RPMs.
  • Sharp Cutting Edge: A unique 45° helix angle and razor-sharp edge design reduce cutting forces, minimize vibration (chatter), and ensure a burr-free finish.
  • Wide Range of Sizes: We offer precision increments (every 0.05mm/0.1mm) from diameter 1.05mm up to 11.9mm to meet your most specific CNC requirements.

Specifications

Our inventory includes a comprehensive range of fractional and decimal sizes. The ratio of Flute Length (L2) to Cutter Diameter (D1) is optimized at 3:1 for deep reach applications.

FAQ

Q1: Why use an uncoated (bright finish) end mill for Aluminum? A: Aluminum is a soft, sticky material. Coatings like TiAlN can increase friction with aluminum, leading to chip welding. Our polished, uncoated carbide surface allows chips to slide off easily, ensuring a cleaner cut and longer tool life.
Q2: Can these tools cut other materials? A: Yes! While optimized for Aluminum, they are also excellent for Brass, Copper, Bronze, Magnesium, and many plastics/acrylics.
Q3: What is the tolerance of your cutter diameter? A: Our standard tolerance for cutter diameter is 0/-0.02mm, and shank tolerance is h6. High-precision options are available upon request.
Q4: Do you offer OEM/ODM services? A: Yes, we can laser mark your logo on the shank and customize label packaging for your brand.
