Best for: Acrylic, Polycarbonate, PVC, ABS plastics
This 1/16" single-flute carbide end mill is designed for clean machining of acrylic, plastics, and polymer materials. The single-flute geometry provides excellent chip evacuation, helping prevent melting while producing smooth edge finishes.
The tool features a 60° high-helix flute with chip-breaking geometry that allows higher feed rates while maintaining excellent surface quality.
Key Features
Single-flute design optimized for plastic machining
Excellent chip evacuation reduces heat buildup
60° high-helix flute for smooth cutting action
Produces clean edges in acrylic and plastics
Fish tail plunge tip suitable for gentle plunging
Solid carbide construction for long tool life
Typical Applications
CNC cutting of acrylic sheet
Plastic routing
Sign making
Polycarbonate machining
ABS and PVC cutting
Single-flute end mills are widely used for machining plastics because the large flute space allows chips to evacuate quickly. This reduces heat buildup and helps prevent melting while maintaining clean edges.
