Product Overview
Aluminum work at 3/8" diameter with a finish upgrade — the CGS Tool 5318-S is a 3-flute square end mill from the Ferocious 3X 5300 Series built for fast stock removal without losing surface quality.
ZrN coating supports cleaner cutting in aluminum-focused work, and variable helix, variable pitch, and wiper end geometry knock down chatter even under extreme feeds. It's best suited for aluminum, copper, brass, non-ferrous materials, plastics, and composites.
