GWS Tool Group's Alumigator ASR-5

GWS Tool Group’s Alumigator ASR-5 end mill is a 5-flute, high-performance carbide end mill for high-speed roughing in aluminum. It’s available in both coolant-through and solid configurations. This end mill features an unequal indexing configuration that reduces chatter for the optimized high-efficiency milling of aluminum alloys, the company says.

Designed and engineered from the Alumigator family of high-performance aluminum end mills, the 5-flute configuration with polished flutes can achieve metal removal rates in excess of 100 in3/min. Staggered roughing serrations and gashing geometry help to ensure small chip size to enable more aggressive feed rates and depths of cut. The Alumigator Super Rougher (ASR-5) end mill for ultra-high-speed roughing, finishing, pocketing or profiling is also available for aluminum alloys and other nonferrous materials.
