Snail Tools Solid Carbide 2 Flute Spiral End Mill (5/16″ Cut, 1/2″ Shank)

Stabilized Double Flute Upcut Router Bit for Aggressive Chip Evacuation in Wood, Plastics, and Aluminum in Canada.

The Snail Tools Solid Carbide Spiral End Mill is a highly versatile tool engineered for effective slotting, plunging, and profiling in a wide variety of materials. The standard upcut spiral geometry efficiently pulls chips upward and out of the cut zone, ensuring rapid chip evacuation and cooling—ideal when routing deep slots or materials prone to melting or binding, such as aluminum, plastics, and wood.¹ This cutter features a robust, stabilized 1/2 inch shank supporting the finer 5/16 inch cutting diameter, which drastically minimizes vibration and deflection. Constructed from Solid Carbide, this tool is essential for demanding CNC routing applications across Ontario and the GTA.²

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Spiral Type: Upcut (Chip Push Up) – Ideal for deep slotting and applications requiring maximum chip clearance and cooling. It provides a clean bottom surface finish.

• Flutes: 2 Flutes (Double Flute) – Provides an optimal balance of cutting strength, rapid chip evacuation, and durability.

• Stabilized Shank: Features a robust 1/2 inch Shank Diameter (d) supporting the fine 5/16 inch Cut Diameter (D), maximizing rigidity and stability for precision cutting.

• Length of Cut: The generous 1 inch Length of Cut (B) allows for deep slotting or single-pass cutting through thick materials.

• Material: Solid Carbide (WC) – Provides the necessary edge hardness and wear resistance for long life in both wood composites and non-ferrous metals.
