OSG Carbide 3 Flute Centre Cutting Square Edge End Mill Short Length - For Aluminium - 12mm

The OSG Carbide 3 Flute Centre Cutting Square Edge End Mill is a short-length milling tool designed specifically for aluminum work. With a 12 mm diameter and three cutting flutes, it delivers efficient material removal while maintaining precise dimensions and a tidy finish. The short length provides enhanced rigidity in tight pockets and restricted depths, helping you keep feeds and speeds stable in aluminum applications.

Designed for versatility, this centre-cutting end mill can plunge into material and machine square pockets, slots, and profiling features with reliable results. The carbide construction offers exceptional wear resistance and long tool life, making it a dependable choice for production runs or demanding DIY projects.

• Three-Flute Design for Efficient Aluminum Milling: The 3-flute geometry provides robust material removal and smooth cutting in aluminum, with effective chip evacuation to minimize heat and prevent built-up edge for cleaner finishes.
• Centre Cutting and Square Edge for Versatility: Center-cutting capability lets you plunge, slot, and contour in a single tool, while the sharp square edge yields precise, square shoulders for accurate pockets and features.
• Short Length for Enhanced Rigidity: Shorter flute length reduces tool deflection in tight cavities, giving you better control, straighter cuts, and consistent pocket depths in aluminum work.

This combination of rigidity, precision, and aluminum-optimized geometry helps you complete parts faster with fewer passes, tighter tolerances, and a cleaner finish. Whether you’re setting up a production run or tackling a DIY aluminum project, this end mill delivers reliable performance and long tool life, reducing downtime and boosting throughput.
