The Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminium & Non-Ferrous is a precision cutting tool designed for contouring, slotting, and profiling in soft metals. Built for machinists and shops that demand dependable finishes and enduring wear resistance, it combines a compact 2-flute design with a long reach.

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Overall length: 150 mm
• Flutes: 2-flute design for efficient material removal
• Edge geometry: Long radius edge (R0.5) for smooth finishing on curves
• Helix angle: 45° for reduced cutting forces and improved chip evacuation
• Material: Carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Material compatibility: Optimized for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals

This end mill is designed to boost productivity and surface quality when working with aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. The 45° helix facilitates easier entry and exit, lowering thrust and heat buildup to extend tool life. The two-flute configuration provides efficient chip clearance at higher feed rates, making it well-suited for contouring complex profiles, pockets, and slotting tasks. With a durable carbide body, you gain lasting sharpness and reliable performance across a range of non-ferrous materials, from soft aluminum to copper-based alloys. Its long reach enables access to deep pockets and intricate geometries without sacrificing rigidity.
