UC-2512 1/8" Up-Cut End Mill

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

Overview
Built for efficient chip evacuation and clean bottom-edge finishes in pockets, slots, and deeper cuts. The up-cut geometry pulls chips up and out of the cut to help reduce heat buildup, while the rigid 1/4" shank improves stability on spindle-driven CNC machines.

Best For

• Pocketing
• Slotting
• Deeper cuts
• Efficient material clearing

Why Choose It

• Strong chip evacuation for deeper cuts
• Clean bottom surfaces in pockets and slots
• Helps reduce heat vs. down-cut tools
• Rigid shank improves stability and accuracy

Starting Parameters
Small-diameter tools work best with higher RPM and controlled feed rates.

• Spindle: 18,000–24,000 RPM
• Feed: 100–180 IPM
• Plunge: 30–60 IPM
• Cut Strategy: Use shallow stepdowns and avoid overloading the tool

Compatible Materials

• Hardwood
• Softwood
• MDF
• Plastics
• Aluminum with light passes and good chip clearing
