OSG Carbide 3 Flute Centre Cutting Square Edge End Mill Short Length - For Aluminium - 16mm

The OSG Carbide 3 Flute Centre Cutting Square Edge End Mill, short-length version, is designed specifically for aluminum machining. With a 16 mm diameter, 3-flute geometry and a square cutting edge, it delivers efficient material removal and precise corners in tight spaces, making it a reliable choice for machinists, shops, and ambitious hobbyists who demand durability and accuracy in every cut. Its short length provides increased rigidity and control for pockets, slots, and thin sections without sacrificing finish quality.

• Short-length rigidity for precise aluminum work: The shorter design minimizes tool flex, delivering steadier cuts and tighter tolerances in confined spaces.
• Three-flute efficiency with clean chip evacuation: The 3-flute geometry balances material removal with edge quality, helping prevent chatter and producing smoother profiles in aluminum.
• Centre cutting square edge for versatility: Center-cutting capability enables plunging and starting cuts, while the square edge delivers sharp corners for accurate slots and pockets in aluminum.

Using this end mill helps streamline your workflow by delivering consistent, accurate results on aluminum components. The carbide construction offers durability and wear resistance for longer tool life, while the three-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The centre-cutting capability adds versatility, enabling plunging as well as profiling to reduce setup times and improve overall throughput.
