High-Performance Solid Carbide End Mill for Non-Ferrous Metals
The 3-flute solid carbide end mill delivers convincing performance when machining non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and brass, as well as non-metallic materials. Equipped with a 35° helix angle, the tool creates favorable conditions for smooth cutting action and precise results in professional applications. The special Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating protects against premature tool wear and supports efficient workflows. Because the mill is centre-cutting, it opens up flexible application possibilities in industrial machining.

Applications
This solid carbide end mill is strictly tailored to the requirements of non-ferrous metal machining. It is an excellent choice for the professional processing of aluminum and aluminum alloys, copper, brass, and various plastics. Thanks to the centre-cutting geometry, the tool proves its worth during face milling, shoulder milling, slot milling, drill slotting, ramping, and plunge milling.
Special features
The DLC coating stands out due to its diamond-like hardness and deliberately reduces wear on the carbide tool. In combination with the three flutes and the 35° helix angle, an even and reliable chip evacuation is promoted. This represents a well-thought-out solution for users who value a stable machining process and highly durable milling tools.
