BALANCE Z500 Solid Carbide Square-End Mill for Aluminum 3FL Bright Z500

BALANCE Z500 — solid carbide, 3-flute square end mill for aluminum machining. Bright Z500 coating and aluminum-specific cutting geometry, available in cutting diameters from 3 to 20 mm.

Applications and capabilities

  • Roughing and finishing aluminum within the axial and radial engagement ranges in the datasheet.
  • Side, shoulder and contour milling.
  • Slot milling, including full-width slots, with suitable cutting conditions and chip evacuation.
  • Square-end geometry for machining shoulders and flat floors.

Select axial and radial engagement for the alloy, tool diameter, tool overhang and setup rigidity. The stated cutting length is a tool dimension, not a recommended single-pass cutting depth.
