GWS Carbide End Mills for Aluminum, Steel & Titanium
Choose a GWS solid carbide end mill by work material and cut. Alumigator and Benchmark families cover aluminum milling. For steel, stainless steel or titanium, compare the GWS roughing, variable-helix and material-specific series below.
Alumigator & Benchmark for aluminum
Alumigator includes 3- and 5-flute tools. Benchmark includes 2- and 3-flute tools. Compare the flute count, corner style and chip clearance for the slot or profile you need to mill.
Roughing & variable-helix end mills
Compare Aggressor roughers for stock removal, Hurrimill variable-helix cutters and Fusion end mills for stainless steels and high-temperature alloys. Check each series for its intended material.
Die, mold & specialty milling
DM2 ball-nose end mills suit contoured die and mold surfaces. Atomic miniature tools cover small features, while chamfer mills and drill/mills offer other end profiles.
Compare diameter, reach and end style
After selecting the series, check cutter diameter, length of cut and shank diameter. For a pocket with a floor radius, compare the tool’s corner radius to the drawing. For a deep wall, also check the usable reach and clearance above the flutes.
End mill questions
- Where should I start for an aluminum end mill?
- Open the Alumigator or Benchmark category, then narrow by diameter, flute count and end style. Compare flute length and shank size on the individual listing.
- Which series should I check for stainless steel?
- Fusion is listed for stainless steels and high-temperature alloys. Alpha also covers stainless steel and titanium. Use the series material table to narrow the choice.
- How do I find a replacement by EDP number?
- Open the interactive milling catalog and click the linked EDP number beside the required dimensions. Check the listing for tool diameter, corner geometry and current stock.
