Description
The Vortex Carbide End Mill is a precision cutting tool engineered for aluminum and non-ferrous metals, delivering clean finishes and longer tool life in both prototyping and production milling.
- Diameter: 6 mm
- Overall length: 100 mm
- Material: Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
- Coating: Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to reduce friction and heat buildup
- Flutes: 3-flute design for balanced material removal and finish
- Geometry: Variable Hi-Helix geometry improves chip evacuation and reduces vibration
- Applications: Optimized for aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals; ideal for pockets, slots, and contour milling
- Machine compatibility: Designed for standard milling machines and CNC routers
Designed to keep your aluminum workpiece free from built-up edges and chatter, the DLC coating helps maintain a cooler cutting zone and minimizes sticking on the cutting edge. The combination of a 3-flute core with variable helix delivers efficient material removal while producing smoother surfaces and longer tool life. Whether you’re prototyping parts, milling pockets, or generating precise slots, this end mill maintains consistent performance at higher speeds with reliable chip evacuation and reduced heat generation.
