With a 1\/4 inch (0.25 inches) cutting diameter and a 35-degree helix angle, this tool promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge — two common failure points when milling aluminum at aggressive feed rates. The reduced-neck geometry extends usable reach to 2.125 inches while maintaining rigidity. It ships bright and uncoated, making it ready for use with flood coolant or air blast setups common in production environments. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers will recognize this as a purpose-built aluminum end mill, not a general-purpose tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in aluminum, brass, and other soft non-ferrous materials. The reduced neck and 2.125 inch reach length make it particularly useful for deep-pocket work where standard-length tools lack clearance. The straight-cylindrical shank allows direct collet or end mill holder clamping without adapters. Typical install environments include production CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and high-speed spindle setups where chip load and RPM are dialed to the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch cutting diameter with matching 0.25 inch straight-cylindrical shank for direct collet mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute configuration optimized for chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and minimizes built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced neck design provides 2.125 inch reach for deep-pocket and extended-reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows plunge entry and ramp milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction delivers hardness and wear resistance at elevated spindle speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish compatible with flood coolant, mist, and air blast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills with 1\/4 inch collets, ER collet chucks, or end mill holders.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in an e-stop or lockout\/tagout state before inserting or removing the tool. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended gauge length and torque the retention nut to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before committing to full-depth cuts, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches (2-1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 degrees\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\u003eExtended Reach\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\u003eVariable Index\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: End Mills for Aluminum - 3 Flute - Square - 35 Degree Helix - Reduced Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.093 pounds\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: 04135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HELICAL SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736835391794,"sku":"04135","price":99.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4c06a3e7b684e82cda1911b64f20cd2a_81924caf-a568-4d3e-9b40-a943873e0ac7.jpg?v=1788780896","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/helical-solutions-04135-1-4in-3-flute-carbide-square-end-mill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
