The Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminum & Non-Ferrous is a precision cutting tool designed for contouring, slotting, and profiling in soft metals. Built for reliable performance, it delivers clean finishes and efficient material removal in aluminum and other non-ferrous alloys.

• Diameter & Radius: 8 mm diameter with a 3.0 mm corner radius for smooth fillets and controlled geometry
• Flute Count: 2-flute design that promotes efficient chip formation and easier retraction
• Material: Solid carbide for rigidity, heat resistance, and longer tool life in aluminum milling
• Helix Angle: 45° helix to reduce cutting forces and enhance chip evacuation for a steadier cut
• Edge Geometry: Standard radius edge that helps achieve a consistent finish on soft metals
• Primary Applications: Ideal for contouring, slotting, and profiling in aluminum and non-ferrous alloys

This end mill is engineered to deliver a balance of precision and durability. The 45° helix and 2-flute geometry minimize tool deflection and heat buildup while promoting smooth chip flow, reducing the risk of built-up edge. The 8 mm diameter with R3.0 radius gives you precise fillets and tight corner work without sacrificing rigidity. Whether you’re refining a prototype, pocketing a light feature, or finishing a contour, this tool helps you achieve consistent finishes with fewer passes.
