Description
Also known as straight flute end mills, straight cut end mills are excellent for when you require a cost-effective solution for getting a great top and bottom finish on your workpiece. Primarily used in woodwork, they are a great alternative to the more expensive compression cut end mills.
Straight flute end mills eject the cut material into the slot and do not pull up or push down on your material, minimising chipping and fraying on brittle materials.

Tips and tricks:
- Straight Cut end mills generate a lot of dust instead of chips so proper ventilation is recommended when using these end mills.
- Straight cut end mills eject dust back into the slot. Dust extraction devices are recommended to assist in the evacuation of the dust and make your cuts cleaner and more efficient.
Please Note:
- Sold individually. Please select the endmill required and quantity.
