Description
Down-Cut end mills force the chips downwards into your material which in turn leaves an excellent and smooth top finish but a slight burr at the bottom if you are cutting all the way through the material. Made from high-quality carbide, these 1 flute down cut end mills are well suited for lettering, engraving woods or cutting aluminium composite (Alucobond).
The downwards force created by the end mill onto the material helps with cutting thin sheets of material which tend to be pulled up by up-cut end mills.
Suitable Materials
- Soft/Hard Woods: Balsa, pine, MDF, Ply
- Aluminium Composite (Alucobond).

Tips and tricks
- For recommended feeds and speeds, please use the FSWizard Machinist Calculator here.
- Debris is packed down into the slot during cutting so a lot of dust is generated. Adequate ventilation and dust extraction are recommended.
- While the down-cut end mills do not try to pull the machine upwards, it is still recommended to clamp your workpiece.
Please Note:
- Sold individually. Please select the endmill required and quantity.
