0.0787" (2.00mm) x 12mm LOC Single O-Flute Carbide End Mill, Up Cut, 1/8" Shank | MO-172

This single O-flute carbide end mill features a 2.00mm cutting diameter, 12mm length of cut, single O-flute geometry, 1.50" overall length, and a standard 1/8" shank. Its polished-flute solid carbide construction makes it a practical choice for CNC routing, milling, profiling, slotting, and trimming in plastics and suitable non-ferrous materials. The O-flute geometry is especially well suited for cutting acrylic, plastic, PVC, and other softer materials. It may also be used in aluminum and suitable non-ferrous metals when proper feeds, speeds, chip clearing, and workholding are used. The up-cut design helps evacuate chips efficiently by pulling chips up and away from the cut. In many routing applications, up-cut geometry can improve bottom-edge cut quality, but the top edge may require proper hold-down, masking, or finishing depending on the material. With a 12mm LOC, this tool provides more cutting reach than many shorter O-flute end mills while still being useful for small-diameter routing and detail work. Use appropriate pass depth, conservative feeds, good chip clearing, and secure workholding to reduce deflection, chatter, or tool breakage. Typical Applications Acrylic and plastic machining PVC cutting Signmaking and plastic fabrication Wood routing and detail cutting Aluminum routing and milling when properly set up Suitable soft non-ferrous material cutting Profiling and contouring Slotting and edge trimming CNC applications requiring efficient chip evacuation Benefits Single O-flute design supports efficient chip evacuation in plastics and softer materials Up-cut geometry helps pull chips up and away from the cut Can improve bottom-edge cut quality in many routing applications Polished flutes help support smoother chip flow 12mm LOC provides useful cutting reach for profiles, slots, and trimming work Square end geometry is suitable for slotting, profiling, trimming, and general routing work Solid tungsten carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance 1/8" shank fits many compact CNC routers, spindles, and precision collet setups Specifications Tool Type Solid Carbide End Mill SKU M119L Cutting Diameter 0.079" / 2.00mm Length of Cut / Flute Length .472" / 12mm Overall Length 1.50" Shank Diameter 1/8" Flutes 1 Geometry O-Flute End Style Square End Cut Direction Up Cut Helix Angle 15° Material Solid Tungsten Carbide Finish Polished Flutes End style: Square End — suitable for slotting, profiling, trimming, and general routing work.
