Magnum 3 Piece Large Fly Cutter Set with 3/4 Inch Rigid Shank (CUTFLYLRG)
Flatten large surfaces on your milling machine with the efficiency of a single-point tool. This 3-piece large fly cutter set includes 1-1/2", 2", and 2-1/2" bodies, allowing for wide surfacing passes that reduce machining time and eliminate the ridges often left by small end mills. The 3/4" shank provides the rigidity needed for stable operation on larger mills, making it easy to achieve a mirror-like finish on aluminum, steel, and cast iron plates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why use a fly cutter instead of a face mill? A: Fly cutters are easier to sharpen (just one bit), require less horsepower, and often produce a superior surface finish on light passes.
Q: What speed should I run these at? A: Because of the large diameter, fly cutters should be run at lower RPMs compared to standard end mills to maintain safe surface speeds.
