Milling Cutting Tools

Available coatings include ALTIN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride), TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride), ZRN (Zirconium Nitride), TiAlN-Futura, and ALCRO MAX, plus uncoated options. Each coating improves wear resistance, thermal stability, and tool life, with specific coatings optimized for aluminum machining or high-speed steel applications.

End mills range from 0.005 inch (micro series) up to 1 inch in diameter, covering everything from intricate micro-machining and detail work to standard-sized roughing and finishing operations. Shank diameters range from 0.125 inch to 1 inch to match various machining center collet sizes.

DI Tool offers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6-flute configurations. Fewer flutes provide better chip evacuation for softer materials like aluminum, while higher flute counts with 45-degree helix angles improve surface finish, reduce vibration, and support higher feed rates in harder materials and finishing operations.

Yes, DI Tool offers specialized Alu-Power and ZRN-coated end mill lines specifically optimized for aluminum and aluminum alloy machining. These tools feature geometries and coatings designed to prevent material buildup, improve chip evacuation, and deliver superior surface finishes in aerospace and automotive aluminum fabrication.

Ball nose end mills feature a rounded cutting tip ideal for 3D contouring, complex surface profiling, and mold and die making, while square end mills have flat-bottomed cutting edges suited for slotting, pocketing, and side milling operations. DI Tool also offers corner radius options between 0.015 inch and 0.250 inch.

Yes, DI Tool's Micro Series includes micro ball nose and micro stub end mills ranging from 0.005 inch to 0.120 inch in diameter. These are designed for intricate detail work, micro-machining, and precision applications requiring extremely fine tolerances in small components.
