Maykestag Solid Carbide 1-Flute End Mill Aluminium & Plastics 3.00mm Type W Left-Hand Spiral
High-speed 1-flute milling for aluminium and plastics. The Maykestag Code 6215 is a solid carbide single-flute end mill designed specifically for aluminium and plastic machining. This 3.00mm version features a right-hand cutting direction with a left-hand 30° spiral, making it particularly well suited to high-speed contour and profile milling applications.
The Maykestag Code 6215 3.00mm solid carbide 1-flute end mill combines a single cutting edge with a large chip space and a 30° left-hand spiral. The Type W geometry is designed for machining aluminium and plastics, where efficient chip evacuation and productive cutting are important.
With a 3.00mm cutting diameter, 3.00mm h6 shank and 38mm overall length, this compact cutter is suitable for precision CNC machining of aluminium, plastics and related non-ferrous applications. The tool is uncoated and uses a DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank.
What is a 1-flute end mill?
A 1-flute end mill has a single cutting edge and therefore provides a particularly large flute space for chip evacuation. This geometry is especially useful when machining materials such as aluminium and plastics at high spindle speeds, where efficient removal of large volumes of chips is important.
The 30° left-hand spiral on this Maykestag cutter is combined with a right-hand cutting direction to provide the specific cutting geometry required by the Code 6215 range.

Why use a single-flute cutter for aluminium and plastics?
Single-flute end mills provide a large flute volume relative to the cutter diameter. This gives chips more space to leave the cutting zone, which is particularly valuable when machining soft, ductile materials such as aluminium and many plastics at high spindle speeds.
The Maykestag Code 6215 combines this single-flute configuration with a 30° left-hand spiral and Type W geometry to provide a specialised solution for aluminium and plastic machining.
Features
- Solid carbide construction: Provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision CNC milling applications.
- Single flute: The one-flute design creates a large flute space for efficient chip evacuation, particularly valuable when machining aluminium and plastics.
- 30° left-hand spiral: The left-hand spiral is an integral part of the Code 6215 cutting geometry and is combined with right-hand cutting.
- Type W geometry: Specialised cutting geometry for aluminium and plastic machining.
- Uncoated: The cutter uses a blank solid carbide cutting surface without an additional coating.
- HSC: Designed for high-speed machining applications where appropriate cutting data and machine conditions are used.
- DIN 6535-HA shank: Cylindrical shank configuration for suitable precision toolholding systems.
- 90° head geometry: The end geometry provides a square end suitable for contour and profile milling applications.
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. The range is identified as Type W and uses a 30° left-hand spiral with right-hand cutting.
The cutter is supplied with a DIN 6535-HA cylindrical shank and is uncoated.
Designed for Aluminium and Plastics
The single-flute geometry provides a large chip space, making this cutter particularly useful where efficient chip evacuation is important. The Maykestag catalogue rates the Code 6215 as ideal for aluminium and especially suitable for plastics.
The tool is also intended for applications involving plastics such as PVC and other plastic materials. Current Maykestag product data further identifies the family as suitable for glass-fibre-reinforced polyester and graphite.
