Maykestag Solid Carbide 1-Flute End Mill Aluminium & Plastics 6.00mm Type W Left-Hand Spiral
Specialised 1-flute milling for aluminium and plastics. The Maykestag Code 6215 is a solid carbide single-flute end mill designed specifically for machining aluminium and plastics. This 6.00mm version features a right-hand cutting direction with a 30° left-hand spiral and Type W geometry for efficient high-speed machining.
The Maykestag Code 6215 6.00mm solid carbide 1-flute end mill provides a generous flute space for efficient chip evacuation when machining aluminium and plastics. Its single cutting edge, 30° left-hand spiral and 90° head form provide a specialised geometry for productive contour milling and profiling applications.
With a 6.00mm cutting diameter, 6.00mm h6 shank, 50mm overall length and 18mm cutting length, this cutter provides a compact and rigid configuration for CNC machining. The uncoated solid carbide construction is complemented by a DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank.
What is a 1-flute end mill?
A 1-flute end mill has a single cutting edge and provides a large flute space relative to its diameter. This allows chips to move efficiently away from the cutting zone and makes single-flute cutters particularly useful when machining aluminium and plastics at high spindle speeds.
The 30° left-hand spiral of the Code 6215 is combined with right-hand cutting and Type W geometry to provide a specialised cutting solution for aluminium and plastics.

Why use a single-flute cutter for aluminium and plastics?
Single-flute end mills provide a large chip space, allowing chips to leave the cutting zone efficiently. This is especially valuable when machining aluminium and plastics at high spindle speeds, where adequate chip evacuation is important for stable cutting performance.
The Maykestag Code 6215 combines its single-flute configuration with Type W geometry and a 30° left-hand spiral for this specialised application.
Features
- Solid carbide construction: Provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision CNC milling applications.
- Single flute: The one-flute configuration creates a large flute space for efficient chip evacuation.
- 30° left-hand spiral: The left-hand spiral is an integral part of the Code 6215 cutting geometry.
- Right-hand cutting: The cutter is designed for right-hand cutting despite its left-hand spiral.
- Type W geometry: Specialised cutting geometry for machining aluminium and plastics.
- Uncoated: The cutter uses a blank solid carbide cutting surface without an additional coating.
- 90° head form: Provides the specified end geometry for contour and profile milling.
- DIN 6535-HA shank: Cylindrical shank configuration for suitable precision toolholding systems.
Recommended Applications
The Maykestag Code 6215 range is rated by Maykestag according to its suitability for different material groups. A higher rating indicates greater suitability for the application.
Tool Identification
The Maykestag Code 6215 is a specialised 1-flute solid carbide milling cutter for aluminium and plastics. It is identified as Type W and uses a 30° left-hand spiral with right-hand cutting.
The cutter has a DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank and is supplied in an uncoated solid carbide configuration.
Optimised for Aluminium and Plastics
The single-flute geometry provides generous chip space, making the cutter particularly useful where efficient chip evacuation is important. Maykestag rates the Code 6215 as ideal for aluminium and especially suitable for plastics.
The Code 6215 geometry is suitable for contour machining applications where high-speed cutting and efficient chip evacuation are required.
