1/16" Cut Diameter Single Flute End Mills for Plastic and Wood Cutting

Cut precise and very thin kerfs with these tiny cut diameter end mills. The cut diameter is 1/16 inches (1.5875 mm). This is a solid carbide, polished end mill for excellent cutting of plastics, wood, aluminum and solid surface. The flute geometry is also excellent at chip clearing chips from the material (getting the material out of the cutting kerf).
