Cyclone Bits DC-2512 1/8" Down-Cut End Mill

1/8" Down-Cut End Mill
Tungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated

Overview
Built for clean top-edge finishes and fine detail work. The down-cut geometry pushes chips downward to help prevent top-surface tear-out, making it a great choice for visible parts, inlays, and precision profiling. Nano Blue coating improves heat resistance and tool life on spindle-driven CNC machines.

Best For

• Fine detail work
• Small pockets and profiles
• Inlays
• Clean top-edge finishes

Why Choose It

• Excellent top-surface finish with minimal tear-out
• Ideal for detailed cutting and visible parts
• Nano Blue coating improves durability
• Rigid 1/4" shank adds stability

Starting Parameters
Small-diameter tools need higher RPM and lighter cuts for best results.

• Spindle: 18,000–24,000 RPM
• Feed: 80–150 IPM
• Plunge: 25–50 IPM
• Cut Strategy: Use conservative depths and clear chips often
