A single flute end mill is a cutting tool used in CNC machining, especially for materials like aluminum, plastics, and wood. It has a single cutting edge (flute).
✔Better Chip Evacuation – The large flute allows chips to clear quickly, reducing clogging and heat buildup.
✔Higher Feed Rates – With fewer flutes, there’s more room for material removal, allowing for faster cutting speeds.
✔Ideal for Soft Materials – Works well with aluminum, acrylic, and other non-ferrous materials that require efficient chip removal.
✔Smoother Finishes – Reduces vibration and improves surface quality when machining softer materials.
