End Mill for Copper 2 flute long neck ball nose end mill

Master Deep Cavity Profiling with SAMHO DLC-Coated 2-Flute Long Neck Ball Nose End Mills

Struggling with material adhesion in deep-reach milling? The SAMHO SHDLR2 Series is the ultimate precision tool for red copper, aluminum alloys, and engineering plastics. Featuring an advanced DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating and a specialized long-neck geometry, these ball nose cutters eliminate built-up edge (BUE) while reaching into the deepest mold cavities and narrowest features.

  • Non-Stick Performance: DLC coating provides ultra-low friction for “sticky” non-ferrous metals.

  • Deep Reach Geometry: Long neck design ensures stable machining in deep pockets without interference.

  • 3D Precision: Ideal for freeform contours and copper electrode finishing.

  • Massive Selection: 74+ specialized models available for immediate global shipping.

In high-precision electrode manufacturing and mold making, tool reach and surface quality are critical. The SAMHO DLC-Coated Long Neck Series is engineered to provide stable, mirror-like finishes in deep-cavity applications where standard tools fail due to vibration or material smearing.


Advanced Technical Features

  • DLC Coating: The Anti-Stick Solution for Copper & Aluminum
    The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating acts as a solid lubricant with exceptional surface hardness and anti-adhesion properties:
    • Prevents Chip Welding: Eliminates built-up edge (BUE) even during high-speed dry cutting
    • Enhances Tool Life: Reduces friction-induced heat, maintaining edge sharpness for longer production runs
  • Long Neck Design for Interference-Free Deep Milling
    Extended neck geometry provides superior clearance for deep cavity and narrow features:
    • Reach Deep Contours: Ideal for complex 3D mold cores and undercuts
    • Maintain Rigidity: Optimized neck-to-diameter ratios ensure stable cutting with minimal deflection
  • 2-Flute Ball Nose Profile for Smooth 3D Surfaces
    Precision-ground spherical tip ensures seamless 3-axis contouring:
    • Seamless Transitions: Smooth finishing of curved surfaces and freeform geometries
    • Reduced Polishing: High-quality finish minimizes secondary manual polishing
  • Mirror-Polished Flutes for Rapid Chip Evacuation
    Mirror-polished flute surfaces provide high-lubricity design:
    • Excellent Chip Flow: Prevents clogging in deep slots and narrow pockets
    • Dimensional Accuracy: Minimizes cutting forces that cause errors in ductile materials
