What is 3 Flute End Mill?
The 3 flute end mill is a precision cutting tool engineered for high-speed aluminum machining. Its three spiral flutes balance cutting force and chip evacuation – delivering 30% faster chip removal than 2-flute tools while outperforming 4-flute versions in rigidity. Ideal for milling, slotting, and contouring aluminum, stainless steel, and alloy steels, it achieves superior surface finishes in CNC operations.
主な機能:
1. Optimized Chip Evacuation
Enlarged chip pockets prevent chip welding in aluminum, reducing surface defects by 60% during high-speed machining.
2. Extreme Durability
- Submicron carbide core: 40% higher impact resistance
- AlTiN/TiSiN coating: Withstands 1100°C heat
- 200% longer lifespan vs standard end mills
3. Material-Specific Edges
- Sharp edge: For aluminum, copper
- Chamfered edge: For hardened steels (HRC45+)
- Adjustable helix angles (30°-50°): Optimize cutting force
4. Vibration-Free Machining
Variable helix design eliminates chatter, enabling precision milling of thin walls and aerospace components.
5. Multi-Material Versatility
Single-tool solution for aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, supporting dry/wet machining.
