SCT10172 AX3 3-Flute, 3/8" Diameter, 1-1/4" Cutting Length, Square End, Center Cutting, 3" OAL, Un-Coated, 3/8" Shank Dia., High-Performance Aluminum & Non-Ferrous Machining
Product Features
- 3-FLUTE HIGH-CAPACITY DESIGN: Specifically engineered with an open flute geometry to provide maximum chip clearance, preventing "chip packing" during high-speed aluminum milling.
- HIGH-HELIX STABILITY: Features an optimized high-helix angle that ensures a smooth, shearing action, significantly reducing cutting forces and preventing part lifting on thin-walled non-ferrous components.
- MIRROR-POLISH FLUTES: The cutting zones are precision-polished to a mirror finish to minimize friction and prevent material buildup (galling) when machining soft, gummy aluminum alloys.
- EXTREME METAL REMOVAL RATES (MRR): Balanced for high-RPM spindles, allowing you to push the limits of your machine's feed rates without sacrificing tool integrity or surface quality.
- VIBRATION DAMPENING GEOMETRY: Though optimized for aluminum, it retains a variable indexing design to cancel out harmonic vibrations, ensuring a chatter-free finish even at deep axial depths of cut.
- MADE IN THE USA: Proudly engineered and manufactured in the United States to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
- PREMIUM SUB-MICRON SUBSTRATE: Manufactured from high-grade Tungsten Carbide for maximum tool strength and extended wear life in demanding non-ferrous materials.
