The Vortex Carbide End Mill for Aluminium & Non-Ferrous is built for precision contouring in soft metals, delivering smooth, accurate finishes on aluminum parts and other non-ferrous materials. It’s ideal for machinists, hobbyists, and pro shops tackling intricate profiles with consistent results.

• Diameter: 3 mm
• Overall length: 100 mm (long length for reach and clearance)
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Number of flutes: 2
• Tip geometry: Ball nose for smooth 3D contouring
• Helix angle: 45° to reduce cutting forces and improve chip evacuation
• Material: Solid carbide for hardness and wear resistance
• Recommended materials: Aluminium and non-ferrous metals

With its long reach and ball-nose geometry, this end mill enables precise, rounded transitions and intricate pocketing on aluminum and other soft metals. The 45° helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and lowers axial load, contributing to cleaner cuts, less tool deflection, and longer tool life. The carbide construction withstands repeated passes and high-speed machining, delivering consistent finishes on complex contours across multiple parts.
