Snail Tools Solid Carbide Single Flute End Mill (5mm Dia, 20mm Cut Length)

Description

Metric High-Speed Single Flute Cutter for Aluminum, Plastics, and Composites in Canada.

The Snail Tools Single Flute End Mill is a highly specialized metric tool engineered for maximum chip evacuation and extremely high feed rates in soft, non-ferrous materials. The large flute valley prevents chip re-welding and heat buildup, which is essential when machining materials like aluminum, engineering plastics (e.g., Nylon, PTFE), wood composites, and soft alloys. Constructed from Solid Carbide for superior rigidity and wear resistance, this cutter provides exceptional performance for high-speed CNC routing and milling applications across Ontario and the GTA.

Key Features & High-Speed Performance

Design: 1 Flute (Single Flute) – Optimized for maximum chip load, ensuring rapid, efficient evacuation of soft, stringy chips. This minimizes thermal damage and material clogging, leading to a smoother finish.

Material: Solid Carbide (WC) – Provides the necessary rigidity and sharpness to maintain tight tolerances and a smooth finish during aggressive High-Speed Machining (HSM).

Dimensions: Features matching 5 mm Cut Diameter (D) and 5 mm Shank Diameter (d). The 20 mm Length of Cut (B) provides extended reach for profiling and deeper cuts in thick materials.

Application: Ideal for high-speed milling of non-ferrous metals and routing of composite panels and plastics where fast material removal is required.
