End Mill for Aluminum

Product catalog summary

Overview

This document provides detailed technical specifications, product codes, and recommended milling conditions for a series of end mills designed specifically for aluminum machining. The product series includes ALZ345, AL2D-2, AL3D-2, AL5D-2, and AL3D-2 DLC, all made from regular grain carbide to ensure stable and efficient machining performance.

Product Specifications

Material: Regular Grain Carbide
Number of Flutes: Varies by model (typically 1 to 5)
Helix Angle: Specified per model but not explicitly detailed in the text
Coating: DLC coating available on AL3D-2 DLC variant

Each product variant is identified by a unique code number and is available in multiple sizes ranging from 0.5 mm to 12 mm in diameter. The document lists corresponding overall lengths, lengths of cut, shank diameters, neck diameters, and taper angles for each size.

Product Codes and Dimensions

The document includes extensive tables mapping product codes to dimensions and retail prices (in JPY). For example, codes starting with 01-00631 relate to various sizes and lengths of the end mills. These tables enable precise selection based on machining requirements.

Recommended Milling Conditions

Recommended parameters are provided for different aluminum materials, including:

Aluminum 1070
Aluminum Alloys 2017, 5052, 7075
Aluminum Cast AC 8C

For each material, spindle speeds and feed rates are suggested for side milling, slotting, and drilling operations. Depths of cut are also indicated to optimize tool life and machining efficiency.
