Product Overview
The CGS Tool 5312-S is a 5/16" diameter 3-flute solid carbide square end mill from the Ferocious 3x 5300 Series, sized for aluminum and non-ferrous machining where speed, chip control, and finish all need to come together. It's built specifically for that job rather than as a general-purpose cutter.
Its ZrN coating is matched naturally to aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and composites, and the special flute design combined with wiper end geometry, variable helix, and variable pitch is engineered to reduce chatter and harmonics while still allowing aggressive feeds. It's a tool that keeps its composure under strong stock removal.
