Product Overview
The CGS Tool 45014-ALTiN is a 5/16" diameter 5-flute solid carbide square end mill. It's built for superior surface finish and extreme feed rates in steels, stainless, cast iron, titanium, and Inconel. It's part of the EF-5 Tornado series, designed as a super finisher for shops chasing finish quality on harder materials.
This tool runs a 45° high helix, the geometry behind the EF-5 Tornado name, giving it strong surface finish performance even when the feed rate climbs. The 5-flute design adds more cutting edges to the cut than a standard finisher, which helps smooth out the wall on tougher alloys. An ALTiN coating handles the heat that comes with steel and titanium work, keeping the edge stable through longer, harder runs.
