Product Overview
Aluminum contour work needs speed and finish quality together, and the BN5312-S delivers both at 5/16" diameter. This 3-flute ball end mill comes from the Ferocious 3x BN5300 Series, made for aluminum and non-ferrous contour milling where smooth rounded profiles, fast chip movement, and finish quality are important.
The ZrN coating supports cleaner cutting in aluminum-focused applications, while the variable helix, variable pitch, and wiper end geometry help reduce chatter and harmonics. With a .1562" radius and 1" length of cut, this cutter is a strong choice for non-ferrous profile and finishing work.
