It features a 1\/2 inch cutting diameter, a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut, and three helical flutes ground at a 45-degree helix angle. The aggressive helix promotes efficient chip evacuation, which is critical when cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. With a 3 inch overall length and a 1\/2 inch straight cylindrical shank, this end mill fits standard collet and end mill holder setups. It arrives uncoated in a bright finish. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in aluminum, brass, or similar soft alloys will find this geometry well-suited to high-speed roughing and finishing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is built for aluminum milling in production and job-shop environments. Its three-flute, 45-degree helix design provides the flute spacing needed to clear chips before re-cutting, reducing heat buildup and extending tool life in non-ferrous applications. It is a single-end tool, meaning it is replaced rather than flipped when worn. Typical use cases include milling pockets, slots, and profiles in aluminum plate and bar stock on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch cutting diameter with a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut for deep pocket and slot work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-flute helical geometry at 45 degrees promotes fast chip evacuation in aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance over high-speed cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating interaction concerns when using aluminum-specific cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-series replacement and standard tooling option within the HELICAL SOLUTIONS End Mills for Aluminum - 3 Flute - Square - 45 degree Helix series.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware according to the tooling system manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates flute wear and can cause chatter in aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helical\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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: 0.238 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: End Mills for Aluminum - 3 Flute - Square - 45 Degree Helix\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: 03465\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730751127858,"sku":"03465","price":103.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d0ded1ec042d8d06474acec05e3d16e_df42ea1e-5d6e-4c74-87d9-9e3a73dc2094.jpg?v=1788722243","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-03465-square-end-mill-1-2-in-3-flute-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
