Magnum 3/8 Inch 2 Flute HSS End Mill Aluminum Slotting Mill (EM38F2)

Supporting high-efficiency slotting in non-ferrous materials and mild steels, this 2-flute HSS end mill utilizes a deep-flute design to prevent material weldment. The configuration is vital for operations where coolant cannot easily reach the tip, allowing chips to escape rapidly. Ground from premium high-speed steel, this mill provides the toughness required to withstand interrupted cuts.

Features

• HSS Toughness - Resists chipping and breakage under heavy or uneven chip loads.
• Center Cutting - Precision ground end teeth allow for direct plunging into solid material.
• High Chip Clearance - 2-flute geometry prevents heat buildup and material clogging.
