2 & 3 <strong>Flute</strong> <strong>Aluminum</strong> <strong>Cutters</strong><br />
with Radius<br />
General Information<br />
2 <strong>Flute</strong> for Alum: Our 2 flute aluminum end mill is very effecting in all aluminum roughing<br />
applications. This tool should be used to remove heavy chip loads at increased feeds and speeds.<br />
3 <strong>Flute</strong> for Alum: Our 3 flute aluminum end mill can be used in a broad array of applications.<br />
This mill will be able to achieve most finish requirements in non-ferrous materials.<br />
This tool is most commonly used in finishing applications in aluminum.<br />
Application Specifications<br />
2 <strong>Flute</strong> for Alum: This 2 flute mill is best suited for roughing applications or when there<br />
are no finish requirements to the applications. Generally the 2 flute will rough out the part<br />
and the 3 flute will go in for the finishing cut to achieve the required finish. Our 2 flute 35°<br />
helix aluminum end mill has a special geometry which allows for high chip loads and feed<br />
rates. The small corner radius gives added strength for smoother cutting action. This mill<br />
is excellent for slotting and profiling at high speeds. Made from premium submicron grain<br />
carbide this end mill will deliver on cost per tool ratio’s getting the most parts per tool than<br />
the competition.<br />
3 <strong>Flute</strong> for Alum: This 3 flute mill is best suited for finishing applications in aluminum<br />
applications. Generally the 3 flute is used to achieve finish requirements specified for the<br />
application. Our 3 flute 35° helix aluminum end mill has a special geometry which allows for<br />
high chip loads and feed rates. The small corner radius gives added strength for smoother<br />
cutting action. This mill is excellent for slotting and profiling at high speeds. Made from<br />
premium submicron grain carbide this end mill will deliver on cost per tool ratio’s getting the<br />
most parts per tool than the competition.<br />
Slotting: Use 2 flute for maximum chip removal<br />
Use 3 flute to achieve finish requirements<br />
Profiling/Finishing: Use 2 flute for maximum chip removal<br />
Use 3 flute to achieve finish requirements<br />
All general information and application specifics are to be used as guides and starting points only. Because of the<br />
multitude of variables used in the milling process use this information as a guideline only. All speeds and feeds<br />
are also suggested starting pints. They may be increased or decreased depending on machine condition, depth<br />
of cut, finish requirements, coolant, etc….
