HW positive Z1 helical end mill for aluminium machining

The FPD2501 is a single-flute HW helical end mill engineered for shank grooving and shank profiling on CNC machining centers with mechanical feed. Its aluminium machining end mill geometry with a positive Z1 edge combines free-cutting action with efficient chip evacuation, supporting stable performance and a cleaner finish in continuous passes and repeat production cycles.

Key features:

• Flutes: 1 for controlled chip formation and stable cutting
• Effective teeth: Z1 for accurate, smooth machining
• Cutting edge: HW, with HW center cutting for a neat entry
• Body type: WIDIA for rigidity and wear resistance
• Axial helix: positive for improved chip flow and smoother finish
• Optimised for grooving and profiling with shank on CNC routers

Benefits:

Helps prevent clogging, keeps feed rates consistent and supports crisp edges and clean sidewalls. A reliable choice when you need repeatable tolerances, stability and smooth cutting on technical materials and composite panels.

Workable materials: Aluminium, Alucobond, Alupanel, Dibond, Plastic materials, Plexiglass.
