Mill faster and control chips with end mills made for aluminum
Put five flutes of milling power to work. Boost feed rates for both roughing and finishing operations and make chips behave.Discover the product range
When end mill flutes pack with gummy aluminum chips, milling operations can come to a complete standstill. ACS540/ACS540R 5 flute end mills keep chips under control and out of the cut zone. Proprietary open flute shape handles chip evacuation while chip splitters break up chips into a manageable size. Internal coolant channel provides efficient chip flushing and proprietary ANF PVD coating posses excellent lubricity to keep workpiece material from sticking to the cutting edge and marring surface finishes.
Your challenge:
Material removal rates, tool life and part surface finish quality all suffer when gummy aluminum chips pack end mill flutes.
The Seco solution:
The special open flute shape, chip splitters, internal coolant channel and proprietary ANF PVD coating of ACS540/ACS540R end mills keep chips at a manageable size, quickly evacuating them from the cut zone and preventing them from adhering to tool cutting edges.

If you need one tool to rough aluminum parts and another to finish it, that’s neither efficient nor cost effective. ACS540/ACS540R 5 flute end mills allow for advanced roughing with long axial depths of cut and shallow radial depths at extremely fast feed rates, as well as fine surface finishing applications with faster feed rates. All that productivity with one tool reduces tooling inventories and job costs while adding versatility.
Your challenge:
Separate end mills for roughing and finishing operations eat into profit margins when you process aluminum parts.
The Seco solution:
To save money and optimize aluminum part machining, one ACS540/ACS540R end mill easily performs both advanced roughing and fine surface finishing operations.
