Description
1/8″ Up-Cut End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated
Overview
Built for efficient chip evacuation and clean bottom-edge finishes in pockets, slots, and deeper cuts. The up-cut geometry pulls chips up and out of the cut to help reduce heat buildup, while the rigid 1/4″ shank improves stability on spindle-driven CNC machines.
Best For
- Pocketing
- Slotting
- Deeper cuts
- Efficient material clearing
Why Choose It
- Strong chip evacuation for deeper cuts
- Clean bottom surfaces in pockets and slots
- Helps reduce heat vs. down-cut tools
- Rigid shank improves stability and accuracy
