Description

The Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous is engineered for high-speed machining of aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. It combines a premium solid carbide body with a rainbow Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to deliver extended tool life and a superior surface finish in demanding production environments.

  • Diameter & Length: 5 mm diameter x 75 mm overall length for a compact footprint in tight pockets and precision cavities.
  • Coating: Rainbow-colored DLC coating reduces friction and heat buildup, minimizes built-up edge, and supports higher feeders and speeds.
  • Material: Solid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance to maintain edge sharpness through extended cutting cycles.
  • Flute Design: 3-flute configuration provides more cutting edges for stability and improved surface finish while maintaining good chip clearance.
  • Geometry: Variable Hi-Helix geometry across the three flutes disrupts harmonic vibrations, reduces chatter, and enhances dimensional accuracy across passes.
  • Chip Evacuation: Optimized flute geometry supports continuous chip evacuation in both slotting and profiling operations, helping prevent jamming.

Designed for both roughing and finishing of aluminum and non-ferrous metals, this end mill delivers consistent radii, cleaner profiles, and fewer tool changes. The combination of advanced coating technology and optimized flute geometry supports faster cycle times, longer intervals between re-sharpening, and reliable performance in tight pockets and intricate geometries.
