Daxer Carbide offers dedicated aluminum end mills from the UHP-Al series, featuring high-polish flutes and ZrN coating to prevent built-up edge and maximize chip evacuation. For aluminum milling, proper tool selection means faster feeds, better finish, and longer tool life.
Aluminum requires high spindle speeds, aggressive feeds, and good chip evacuation. Use 2-flute or 3-flute end mills to maximize chip clearance. Avoid coatings that cause built-up edge — ZrN or uncoated are preferred. Flood coolant or air blast recommended.
