Product Overview
The CGS Tool M5401-UC is a 3mm diameter 3-flute solid carbide square end mill from the Ferocious 3x 5300 Series, sized for aluminum work in tight spaces where the tool still needs to clear chips cleanly. It's built specifically around small metric features rather than general-purpose duty.
Its variable helix, variable pitch, and wiper end geometry are engineered to keep chatter down in confined areas, and the uncoated finish keeps the cutting edge sharp and direct. Rated for aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and composites, it delivers clean walls even at a compact 3mm diameter.
