Product Overview
The CGS Tool 2548 has a 5/8” diameter 2-flute solid carbide square end mill meant for maximum performance in aluminum copper brass plastics composites and other non-ferrous materials. It’s part of the industry-renowned 2500 Series Ferocious, this high-performance tool is engineered to bring exceptional material removal rates, aggressive feed speeds, and smoother machining efficiency, especially in high-speed CNC applications.
Made from premium solid carbide, the 2548 includes CGS Tool’s original 55° high helix geometry, and that gives outstanding chip evacuation, lower cutting forces, and a more stable machining feel. The free-cutting design helps machinists reach some of the highest chip loads and feed rates per tooth in the industry, which boosts productivity while still keeping really good surface finishes. The uncoated cutting edges are optimized for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials, so it helps prevent material buildup and keeps cuts clean and accurate.
