MAYKESTAG Speedcut-Aluminium Solid Carbide End Mill 3mm Long Series Neck 3 Flute

Maykestag Speedcut-Aluminium Solid Carbide End Mill 3mm Long Series

High-performance 3mm solid carbide end mill from the Maykestag Speedcut-Aluminium range, featuring a long-series neck-relieved design, three cutting flutes, Type W geometry and unequal 34°–38° spiral angles for efficient, smooth machining of aluminium and suitable non-ferrous materials.

The Maykestag Code 7950 Speedcut-Aluminium end mill is a high-performance solid carbide milling cutter developed for productive machining of aluminium and other suitable non-ferrous materials. This 3mm cutter combines a three-flute cutting geometry with large, efficient flute spaces and unequal spiral angles between 34° and 38°. The geometry promotes effective chip evacuation while helping to reduce repetitive cutting forces and vibration, supporting a clean surface finish and stable machining at demanding cutting conditions.

The long-series, neck-relieved construction provides additional clearance behind the cutting section. On this 3mm model the cutting diameter is 3.00mm while the relieved neck diameter is 2.90mm, allowing the cutter to machine deeper profiles and walls with reduced risk of the neck rubbing against the workpiece. A precision 6mm DIN 6535-HB shank provides secure clamping in a suitable toolholder.

Precision Made in Austria: Maykestag precision cutting tools are manufactured in Austria with carefully controlled carbide, cutting geometry and dimensional accuracy for professional machining applications.

Product highlights

• Solid carbide construction: High rigidity and wear resistance support accurate machining, good cutting-edge stability and dependable tool life.
• Speedcut-Aluminium geometry: Purpose-designed cutting geometry for aluminium and suitable non-ferrous materials.
• 3mm cutting diameter: Precision h10 diameter tolerance for controlled machining of detailed features, profiles and slots.
• Three-flute design: Combines productive material removal with sufficient flute space for efficient chip evacuation.
• Unequal spiral angles: 34°–38° helix geometry varies cutting-edge engagement and helps reduce vibration and harmonic cutting forces.
• Type W geometry: Designed for comparatively soft and long-chipping materials where a free-cutting action and effective chip clearance are important.
• Long-series neck relief: The reduced 2.90mm neck diameter provides additional clearance when machining deeper shoulders and profiles.
• 45° corner chamfer: Features a 0.05mm × 45° cutting-edge chamfer.
• DIN 6527 L: Manufactured to the long-series dimensional standard for solid carbide end mills.
• DIN 6535-HB shank: Precision cylindrical shank with clamping flat for secure holding in compatible toolholders.
• HSC and HPC capable: Developed for demanding high-speed and high-performance machining when used with suitable machine, holder and cutting parameters.
• Yellow identification ring: Quickly identifies the cutter as part of Maykestag&s Speedcut-Aluminium application family.

Designed for Stable, Productive Aluminium Milling

The combination of three cutting edges and unequal 34°–38° spiral angles changes the timing with which each cutting edge engages the workpiece. This helps prevent cutting forces from repeating at exactly the same interval, improving cutting stability and helping suppress vibration. Together with the Type W geometry and generous flute space, this makes the cutter particularly well suited to productive machining of aluminium.

The relieved neck also provides useful clearance beyond the 8mm cutting length. With an overall relieved reach of 14mm, the cutter can work around deeper shoulders and profiles while reducing unnecessary contact between the tool neck and the workpiece. Correct spindle speed, feed rate, radial engagement and chip evacuation remain essential for achieving the best performance.
