The Vortex Carbide End Mill is engineered for aluminum and non-ferrous metals, delivering precise contouring, slotting, and profiling on CNC machines. This 2-flute cutter with a standard radius edge prioritizes finish quality and long tool life for demanding non-ferrous work.

• Diameter: 16 mm
• Flutes: 2-flute design optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Radius edge: Standard R4.0 corner radius for smoother corners and reduced chipping
• Helix angle: 45° to lower cutting forces and promote efficient chip evacuation
• Material: Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Target materials: Specifically designed for aluminium and non-ferrous alloys
• Primary uses: Contouring, slotting, and profiling on CNC mills

Expect a crisp surface finish and extended tool life when machining aluminum and non-ferrous parts. The combination of a 45° helix and a two-flute geometry enables smooth entry, efficient material removal, and reliable chip clearance, helping reduce heat buildup and vibration. The 4.0 mm radius at the corners preserves edge integrity on tight radii, lowering the risk of edge chipping during aggressive passes. With carbide hardness and wear resistance, this end mill supports higher-speed machining and consistent tolerances across multiple passes, making it a dependable choice from prototype runs to ongoing production.
