Built with a 45-degree helix angle and Zplus coating, it moves chips efficiently and reduces built-up edge when cutting aluminum alloys. The 2-flute, single-end configuration with a right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction is standard for aluminum applications where chip clearance is critical. The helical flute geometry keeps cut forces low and surface finish quality high. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install this tool in vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual mills when tolerances and finish requirements demand solid carbide tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for aluminum milling in job shops, production machining, and prototype work. The Zplus coating is applied specifically for non-ferrous metals, reducing friction and heat at the cutting edge. The 3\/8-inch diameter with a 1-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length makes it practical for shallow-to-moderate depth slots, pockets, and profiles in aluminum plate and billet. Single-end design means the tool is replaced rather than flipped when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle optimized for aluminum chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZplus coating reduces friction and heat on non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-flute configuration maximizes chip clearance in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentercutting capable — supports plunge entry cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard ER and side-lock holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style solid carbide end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3\/8-inch straight-cylindrical shank; part of the HELICAL SOLUTIONS End Mills for Aluminum 2 Flute Square 45 degree Helix series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Ensure spindle is fully stopped and machine is in an e-stop or lockout state before tool changes. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before production cuts when tight tolerances are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zplus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.137 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HELICAL SOLUTIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00347\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750708674866,"sku":"00347","price":81.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e1880f5004c9341d67ba7b5dca563338_08dce84a-0aac-49e8-a995-407669546c55.jpg?v=1788918797","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-00347-square-end-mill-3-8-in-2-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
