Vortex Carbide End Mill For Aluminium & Non-Ferrous - 3 Flute Variable Hi Helix -DLC Coated - 5mm x 50mm (5mm Shank)

The Vortex Carbide End Mill is engineered for precision aluminum and non-ferrous milling, delivering fast material removal, excellent surface finish, and reliable performance in tight pockets and detailed profiles. This 5mm-diameter tool with a 5mm shank and 50mm overall length is designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who demand consistency in high-speed operations.

• Premium carbide construction: Solid carbide core provides rigidity and wear resistance, maintaining sharp cutting edges through extended runs without deflection or chatter.
• 3‑Flute Variable Helix design: Optimized chip evacuation across cutting zones, reducing vibration and enabling stable, predictable cuts on aluminum and non-ferrous alloys.
• DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating: Ultra-hard, low-friction surface with good thermal resistance, supporting higher speeds, reducing adhesion to aluminum, and improving heat management for longer tool life.
• Exact dimensions: 5mm cutting diameter, 50mm overall length, and 5mm shank, ideal for tight pockets, detailed profiles, and compact tooling setups.
• Finishing-focused flute geometry: Polished flute surfaces decrease cutting forces and excel in finishing operations for consistent, smooth surfaces.
• Non‑ferrous optimization: Specifically designed for aluminum, copper, magnesium, and composites where chatter and rapid wear are common with standard tools.
• Longevity advantage: The combination of variable helix geometry and DLC protection can deliver up to a 100% increase in tool life versus uncoated tools, making it cost-effective for both single-part jobs and production runs.
• Dry or wet cutting versatility: Suitable for both dry cutting or wet environments—pair with appropriate feeds and speeds for your machine’s spindle and rigidity.

This end mill enables high-speed pocketing, slotting, profiling, and finishing with cleaner surfaces and less secondary finishing. Its robust carbide core, advanced geometry, and protective coating work together to deliver reliable performance across a range of non-ferrous materials, helping you achieve precise parts with fewer setup changes and longer tool life.
