Description

Designed for precision aluminum and non-ferrous milling, this Vortex carbide end mill combines a long reach with a ball nose for flawless contours and smooth finishes. Ideal for CNC operators and machinists who need deep pockets and complex 3D profiles without sacrificing surface quality.

  • Diameter: 16 mm
  • Overall length: 150 mm
  • Shank diameter: 16 mm
  • Flute count: 2-flute design
  • Tip geometry: Ball nose for precise 3D contouring and gentle radii
  • Helix angle: 45° to improve chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces
  • Material: Carbide for enhanced hardness and wear resistance
  • Material compatibility: Optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys
  • Application: Long-reach profiles, deep pockets, fillets, and smooth 3D finishing

The combination of a 2-flute configuration and a 45° helix is tuned for aluminum and non-ferrous metals, delivering efficient material removal with reduced heat and chatter. The long length provides access to deeper cavities and complex geometries while maintaining rigidity suitable for precise finishing. Ball nose geometry ensures smooth transitions and high-quality surface finishes on 3D contours, making it a dependable choice for mold making, prototyping, and detailed part production.
