Description
1/4″ O-Flute End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated
Overview
Built for clean, efficient cutting in plastics and softer non-ferrous materials. The single-flute O-flute geometry clears chips well, helps reduce heat buildup, and supports higher feed rates for cleaner edges and less melting.
Best For
- Acrylic and other plastics
- HDPE, UHMW, and Delrin
- PVC
- Soft aluminum with light cuts
Why Choose It
- Single flute for strong chip evacuation
- Helps reduce heat in plastics
- Supports higher feed rates
- Produces clean edges with minimal melting
Starting Parameters
Best results come from moderate RPM and higher feed rates. Adjust for material, rigidity, and chip formation.
- Spindle: 16,000–22,000 RPM
- Feed: 180–350 IPM
- Plunge: 40–80 IPM
- Cut Strategy: Keep feed high enough to form chips, not melt material
