Magnum 3/8 Inch 2 Flute Cobalt End Mill Slotting Mill (EM38CF2)
Facilitating aggressive material removal in heat-sensitive alloys, this 2-flute cobalt end mill combines large chip-carrying capacity with extreme red-hardness. Optimized for slotting and plunging operations where chip clogging is a risk, the cobalt substrate allows for higher cutting speeds. It is an essential choice for production environments working with nickel alloys, titanium, and stainless steels.
Features
- Center Cutting Geometry - Enables plunging and pocketing without a pilot hole.
- Cobalt Hardness - Extends tool life in high-heat machining environments.
- Dual Flute Design - Optimal for maximum chip evacuation in deep slotting tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why 2 flutes instead of 4? A: Two flutes provide much more space for chip removal, which is vital when milling deep slots to prevent tool breakage.
Q: Can I use this for aluminum? A: Yes, it clears aluminum chips exceptionally well, though Cobalt is specifically designed for tougher, harder alloys.
