Corner Radius End Mill – AL Series For Aluminum

Corner Radius End Mill – AL Series For Aluminum

The flat end mills, also referred to as an end mill, stands as the most versatile cutting tool in CNC machining, particularly optimized for aluminum processing applications

Appearance Characteristics

The end cutting edges(bottom edges) of the tool feature a flat profile, with vertical side walls. Notably, certain flat end mill models lack cutting capability at the bottom center(non-center cutting design),which requires attention during machining setup.

Core Functions

• 2D Contour Machining: Exceptionally suited for cutting vertical side walls and external contours of aluminum parts, ensuring precise dimensional accuracy.
• Flat Surface Finishing: Leveraging its flat bottom design, this tool delivers ultra-smooth and flat machined surfaces—critical for aluminum components requiring high surface quality.
• Roughing & Groove Machining: Ideal for large-volume material removal (roughing) in aluminum workpieces, as well as milling keyways, cavities, and other recessed features.
• Steep Surface Finishing: In 3D aluminum machining, it excels at finishing steep surfaces (near-vertical profiles), maintaining consistent precision across complex geometries.

Advantages & Disadvantages

• Advatages：Strong versatility, suitable for various machining scenarios; high tool strength ensures stable cutting; excellent surface quality of machined flat surfaces.
• Disadvantages:  Stress concentration is easy to occur at the bottom sharp corner, leading to fast wear; cannot directly machine cavities with bottom fillets.
