The LS-CT-1308 1/2" 3-Flute Square End Mill is designed for precision CNC milling of aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Featuring a slick DLC coating and a three-flute cutting geometry, this end mill provides a balance of efficient material removal, chip evacuation, and surface finish quality.
The three-flute design offers additional cutting edges compared to traditional two-flute end mills while maintaining space for chip evacuation during aluminum machining. Its DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating gives the flutes a hard, slick surface that resists built-up edge, so aluminum chips release cleanly and the tool lasts longer than an uncoated end mill.
With a 1/2" cutting diameter, 1-1/4" length of cut, and 3" overall length, this large-diameter end mill is ideal for precision profiling, slotting, pocketing, and general aluminum milling.
Designed for use with compatible CNC milling machines, including the Langmuir Systems MR-1 CNC Gantry Mill, the LS-CT-1308 is a versatile cutting tool for machinists, fabricators, and manufacturers working with aluminum components.
Key Features:
Three-flute geometry for efficient aluminum cutting and chip evacuation.
DLC coating resists built-up edge in aluminum.
Square-end cutting geometry for flat-bottom pockets, slots, and precise profiles.
1/2" diameter for heavy material removal, large pockets and wide profiles.
Compatible with the Langmuir Systems MR-1 CNC Gantry Mill and other suitable CNC milling machines.
