Meet the Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminium & Non-Ferrous—a precision cutting tool designed for accurate contouring and profiling in soft metals. Its 2-flute, standard-length ball nose and a 45° helix deliver clean radii and smooth surfaces, making it ideal for aluminum and other non-ferrous applications.

• Diameter: 16 mm
• Flute count: 2-flute design optimized for efficient chip clearance in soft metals
• Length: Standard length for reliable reach across a variety of pockets and contours
• Tip geometry: Ball nose enables precise radii, complex contouring, and high-quality finishes
• Helix angle: 45° to reduce cutting forces and promote efficient chip evacuation
• Material: Solid carbide for superior hardness, wear resistance, and extended tool life
• Application: Specifically tuned for aluminium and non-ferrous metals, delivering consistent results

This combination translates to improved surface finish, longer tool life, and predictable performance in profiling and contouring tasks. The 45° helix directs cutting forces into the tool for steadier cuts, while the ball-nose geometry preserves tight radii and detailed features at depth. Ideal for prototyping, model making, and production work where precise 3D contours matter.
