We’re excited to share a new end mill for sale! We had a batch of 100 single flute carbide end mills made custom for cutting aluminum.
Last week, I had a chance to test them and the results were very good. Aluminium cut through like butter.
I ran the LongMill between 1mm depth of cut at 50% stepover to 2mm depth of cut at 100% stepover at 1000mm/min feedrate.

As you can see in the photo, the aluminum chips look pretty good as well.
I will continue to do further tests but so far so good.
1/4″ Single Flute bits will be available for sale for $15CAD until the end of next week ($21CAD regular price).
