With a 1\/4 inch cutting diameter and a 45-degree helix angle, it promotes aggressive chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in non-ferrous materials. The Zplus coating reduces built-up edge and extends tool life in aluminum, brass, and similar soft alloys. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 1\/4 inch in diameter, making it compatible with standard collet and end mill holders. Machinists and CNC operators use this tool in production and job-shop environments where clean surface finish and efficient material removal in aluminum are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for face milling, slotting, and profiling aluminum and other non-ferrous workpieces in both 3-axis and multi-axis CNC machining centers. The single-end, center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as conventional peripheral cuts. It fits into standard 1\/4 inch toolholders and works well in high-RPM spindle setups typically used when cutting aluminum alloys. The 3\/8 inch length of cut and 2 inch overall length make it a compact choice for shallow-to-moderate depth passes where rigidity and chatter resistance matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous alloy milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZplus coating minimizes built-up edge and extends tool life in soft metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers rigidity and wear resistance over high-speed tool paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use on standard CNC and manual mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-production end mill for use in 1\/4 inch collets, end mill holders, and hydraulic or shrink-fit toolholders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with toolholder torque procedures and runout requirements. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an energy-isolated state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the minimum clamping depth to avoid tool pullout under load. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run, especially at high spindle speeds typical of aluminum machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\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\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.044 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: End Mills for Aluminum - 3 Flute - Square - 45 deg Helix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\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: 03152\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737598984498,"sku":"03152","price":60.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/abf5f097c803582698c3fff5a30bbe1f_1ba52d23-e26d-47d9-8cc4-bd6271db45d7.jpg?v=1788791153","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-03152-square-end-mill-1-4-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
