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 workshop environments, it pairs a compact 2-flute geometry with a long-radius edge to deliver smooth, accurate finishes on aluminum and other non-ferrous alloys.

• Diameter: 12 mm — robust tool diameter that supports stable cuts and consistent wall thickness in soft metals.
• Overall Length: 100 mm — extended reach ideal for deep pockets, complex contours, and hard-to-reach features.
• Corner Radius: R2.5 — adds rigidity and helps create gentle transitions in curved profiles, reducing edge chipping.
• Flute Count: 2 flutes — efficient chip clearance in non-ferrous materials while maintaining a good surface finish.
• Helix Angle: 45° — balances cutting forces and chip evacuation for clean surfaces and longer tool life.
• Material: Carbide construction — high hardness and wear resistance suited to repeated jobs in aluminium and other non-ferrous alloys.
• Applications: Ideal for contouring, slotting, and profiling tasks in aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces, including pockets, slots, and intricate geometries.

In practice, this end mill delivers smoother surfaces with reduced chatter thanks to its deliberate geometry and carbide substrate. The 2-flute design facilitates rapid chip removal, while the 45° helix and long reach enable efficient cutting in deeper features without sacrificing finish quality. The combination of 12 mm diameter, 100 mm length, and R2.5 corner radius makes it a reliable choice for production runs and detailed prototyping alike, helping you finish parts faster with consistent results.
