Description

The Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminium & Non-Ferrous is a precision 2 mm diameter cutting tool designed for clean, efficient milling in aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. With a 3-flute configuration, standard length, square edge, and a 55° helix, it’s built for reliable performance in Prototyping and small-batch production.

  • Diameter: 2 mm — ideal for tight pockets, fine detailing, and precise contouring in soft alloys.
  • Flutes: 3 flutes — balances high chip evacuation with tool rigidity to minimize deflection during cuts.
  • Length: Standard length — versatile enough for general milling tasks without excessive overhang.
  • Edge: Square edge — delivers accurate, square shoulders and crisp part features on aluminum and non-ferrous materials.
  • Helix Angle: 55° — optimized for efficient chip clearance and heat management in non-ferrous metals.
  • Material: Carbide — provides wear resistance and lasting cutting performance under repetitive machining cycles.
  • Material Suitability: Aluminium & Non-Ferrous — specifically engineered to achieve smooth finishes and reliable tool life on soft alloys.

This end mill excels in applications requiring precise pockets, slots, and profiles in aluminum enclosures, electronics housings, and lightweight alloys. The 3-flute design supports steady cutting at modest feeds while maintaining strong rigidity, reducing deflection on delicate features. The 55° helix aids in rapid chip removal, helping to prevent built-up edge and heat buildup that can compromise surface finish. Whether you’re prototyping or producing small runs, this tool delivers consistent performance with clean edge quality and dependable repeatability. For optimal results, match speeds and feeds to your material, employ appropriate cooling, and preserve tool integrity with regular inspection and careful re-sharpening when needed.
