Applications
This end mill is highly versatile for machining aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The centre cutting face geometry makes it a well-thought-out solution for direct axial plunging into the workpiece.

Primary applications include shoulder milling, slot milling, slot drilling, ramping, and plunge milling. Especially when manufacturing deep pockets and complex contours in aluminum components, the long version provides an excellent basis for reliable and steady operations.
Special features
The uncoated K30 carbide grade RT30K was explicitly selected to guarantee a smooth surface when milling soft and adhesive non-ferrous metals. This effectively reduces tool wear caused by cold welding to a minimum.
Another key feature is the steep 55° helix angle. This soft cutting angle significantly reduces cutting forces and promotes rapid, efficient chip evacuation, ensuring process stability even when cutting in deep cavities.
