Vortex Carbide End Mill For Aluminium & Non-Ferrous - 2 Flute Long Length Ball Nose 45° - 12mm x 100mm (12mm Shank)

The Vortex Carbide End Mill is a precision long-length cutter built for aluminium and non-ferrous metals, delivering clean contours and reliable reach for complex milling tasks. This 2-flute, ball-nose design with a 12 mm shank is ideal for detailed 3D surfaces and deep pockets in a range of machining projects.

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Overall Length: 100 mm
• Shank Diameter: 12 mm
• Material: Solid carbide for rigidity and wear resistance
• Flutes: 2-flute design optimized for aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• Tip Geometry: Ball nose for precise 3D contours and smooth fillets
• Helix Angle: 45° to improve chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces
• Applications: Contouring, finishing passes, and pocketing in aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys

Designed to deliver steady performance in soft metals, the tool’s long length enables reaching into tight pockets and complex 3D surfaces without sacrificing rigidity. The ball-nose geometry produces accurate radii and smooth surface finishes, while the 45° helix optimizes chip flow and lowers the workload on the cutter. The combination of carbide hardness and a two-flute configuration helps extend cutting life and maintain consistent finishes across multiple passes, making it a dependable choice for prototyping, model making, and small to mid-volume production in aluminium and non-ferrous materials.
