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.
| Cutter Diameter Range (D1) | | |
|---|
| | 3 x D1 (e.g., 3.15mm - 11.85mm) | |
| | 3 x D1 (e.g., 12.3mm - 17.7mm) | |
| | 3 x D1 (e.g., 18.3mm - 23.7mm) | |
| | 3 x D1 (e.g., 24.3mm - 29.7mm) | |
| | 3 x D1 (e.g., 30.3mm - 35.7mm) | |
> Note: We stock increments of 0.05mm and 0.1mm as shown in the datasheet. Custom dimensions are available upon request.

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.
