Engineered for aluminum roughing, the Europa Tools HSS-E Roughing End Mill is a compact, uncoated 18 mm diameter tool designed for high-speed metalworking environments. Its 3-flute design and 37° helix deliver efficient material removal with reliable chip evacuation in tight pockets and challenging jobs.

• Diameter: 18 mm
• Flute Count: 3-flute design for balanced strength and chip clearance
• Length Type: Short length for reduced deflection and better rigidity in confined work areas
• Helix Angle: 37° for effective cutting in aluminum
• Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced heat and wear resistance
• Coating: Uncoated surface to maximize chip flow and minimize friction
• Intended Material: Optimized for aluminium machining and non-ferrous alloys

This end mill enables faster aluminum removal with smooth chip flow, helping prevent chip clogging and heat buildup during roughing passes. The 3-flute geometry maintains strong cutting action while preserving a good surface finish on aluminum workpieces. The HSS-E composition offers durability under demanding machining conditions, while the uncoated finish reduces friction for steadier cuts and easier swarf evacuation. Ideal for pocketing, ramping, and roughing aluminum in small to mid-size components.
