End Mill for Copper 4 Flute Long Neck Corner Radius End Mill

SAMHO DLC-Coated 4-Flute Relief-Neck Corner-Radius End Mill

High-Efficiency, High-Precision Solution for Red Copper Machining

Tool adhesion, BUE, and rapid tool wear are common challenges in red copper machining. These issues can reduce productivity and increase overall machining costs. The SAMHO DLC Series 4-flute relief-neck corner-radius end mill is engineered to address these problems. It is optimized for high-precision red copper machining and also delivers stable performance on aluminum alloys and resin materials.

Optimized for Non-Ferrous Metal Machining

This tool features a high-performance DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating with low friction characteristics. It reduces cutting load and effectively minimizes material adhesion and built-up edge during red copper machining. The result is a cleaner cutting process and improved process stability.

Relief-Neck Corner-Radius Design for Complex Applications

The relief-neck geometry combined with a corner-radius cutting edge reduces cutting interference and stress concentration. It is well-suited for red copper molds, electrodes, and deep-cavity machining. This design also improves edge strength and reduces the risk of chipping under demanding conditions.

High-Precision Manufacturing Standard

Shank diameter tolerance is controlled within 0 to -0.003 mm. This ensures high clamping accuracy and stable performance on advanced CNC machining centers. It also improves repeatability in batch production environments.

In non-ferrous metal precision machining—especially when cutting pure copper—tooling must meet extremely demanding requirements. It needs to maintain sharp cutting edges, ensure smooth chip evacuation, and resist material adhesion. Long tool life is also critical for maintaining efficiency and consistency.

The SAMHO DLC-coated 4-flute long-neck round nose end mill is specifically engineered for these conditions. It is optimized for high-efficiency machining of pure copper, while also delivering excellent performance in aluminum alloys and resin materials.

This tool features a high-performance DLC coating that greatly reduces friction. It minimizes common issues in copper machining, such as material sticking and built-up edge. As a result, it improves surface finish and maintains stable dimensional accuracy.


Advanced Technical Features

High-Adhesion DLC Coating for Extended Tool Life

This tool features a proprietary DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating engineered for red copper machining. The coating delivers an extremely low coefficient of friction and strong chemical inertness, ensuring stable performance in demanding cutting conditions.

  • Excellent wear resistance: Maintains a sharp cutting edge during long, continuous machining cycles
  • Strong anti-adhesion performance: Reduces built-up edge (BUE) and prevents material sticking in red copper applications
  • High coating adhesion strength: Ensures stable coating performance even under high-speed and heavy-load cutting conditions

Long-Neck Corner-Radius Design for Deep Cavity Machining

The long-neck geometry combined with a corner-radius tip is designed for complex and deep cavity machining.

  • Ideal for deep cavity work: Suitable for red copper molds, electrodes, and 3D contour machining
  • Reduced stress concentration: Corner-radius design helps prevent edge chipping and improves tool durability
  • Stable tool path control: Improves contour accuracy and machining consistency in complex geometries

High-Efficiency 4-Flute Design for Stable Cutting Performance

The 4-flute structure is optimized to balance cutting efficiency and tool rigidity.

  • Smoother cutting process: Load is distributed evenly across multiple cutting edges
  • Improved surface finish: Delivers high-quality finishes on red copper and aluminum alloys
  • Higher machining efficiency: Supports increased feed rates while maintaining stable cutting performance

High-Strength Fine-Grain Carbide Substrate

Built on a premium fine-grain carbide base and manufactured with high-precision grinding technology.

  • High dimensional consistency: Suitable for batch production and precision machining environments
  • Strong fracture resistance: Performs reliably under heavy-load conditions in non-ferrous metal machining
  • Stable long-term performance: Ensures consistent tool behavior during extended production runs

Target Applications & Industries

Note:
Decrease both spindle speed and feed rate proportionally when the milling parameters exceed the machine’s maximum
spindle speed;

*Recommend oil coolant for Stainless Steels and Heat Resistance Alloys;

*Recommend using a non-contact measuring device to avoid damaging the precision tip point;

*Decrease both spindle speed and feed rate proportionally in case of chattering.
