Product Overview
The CGS Tool CR5318.020-S is like a 3/8" diameter, 3-flute solid carbide corner radius end mill, from the Ferocious 3x CR5300 Series built for aluminum and non ferrous work, where edge strength and surface finish both need to keep holding up under high feeds, and that sort of thing.
The .020" corner radius basically backs the cutting edge, while the ZrN coating helps with cleaner aluminum cutting. With a variable helix, variable pitch, plus a wiper end geometry, it reduces chatter in aluminum, copper, brass non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites.
