Product Overview
A 3-flute cutter gets the nod when a shop wants speed but still keeps the strength, and the CGS Tool 230-5000-ALTiN fits that role very nicely, sort of a 1/2" diameter square end mill from the 230 Series made to balance cutting rate, rigidity, and material removal so it doesn’t fall behind.
A steeper 45° helix shears cleaner and clears chips faster than a standard-angle tool, and ALTiN coating helps the edge resist heat under demanding conditions. It's suited to mild steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous materials, plastics, and composites.
