* Inch sizes (1/32, 3/64, 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64 and 1/8 in) use inch corner radii: .005" (0.13 mm), .010" (0.25 mm) and .015" (0.38 mm).

† Made to order, not stocked. Allow 14–20 business days.

Key Features

  • Coolant-through shank: delivers coolant to the cutting edge, reducing heat and improving chip evacuation.
  • High-polish flutes: minimize material bonding for exceptional chip forming in aluminum and plastic.
  • New flute geometry: allows increased feed rates and reduced cycle times.
  • 3-flute design: built for slotting, dynamic milling and large step-over milling.
  • Premium carbide: for rigidity and long tool life.

Applications & Benefits

Applications

Full slotting, dynamic milling, large step-over milling, plunge milling, pocketing and high-speed finishing.

Ideal Materials

Aluminum alloys, brass, copper, plastics and other non-ferrous materials.

Performance Benefits

  • Excellent chip evacuation
  • Superior surface finish
  • Higher feed rates and shorter cycle times

Speeds & Feeds

Recommended starting parameters. Feed per tooth is shown in mm, with inches in parentheses.

For other diameters: Feed / Tooth (mm) = Cut Diameter (mm) × Multiplication Factor
