Single Spiral Flute Upcut End Mill

The single spiral flute upcut end mill cuts with one flute that lifts chips up and out of the groove. Chips leave the cut instead of grinding around at the bottom, so groove bottoms come out clean and the tool runs cooler. The cutting edge is ground from solid tungsten carbide into a single spiral flute: one edge can be ground sharper than many, and the wall finish shows it. Shanks from 3.175 to 8 mm, cutting diameters from 3 to 8 mm, cutting lengths from 8 to 52 mm, overall lengths from 38 to 85 mm.

The VPOINT Single Spiral Flute Upcut End Mill is a solid carbide end mill for CNC routers and machining centres. Built for CNC routers and machining centres in daily production.

  •  
  • A Single Spiral Flute Upcut End Mill is a specialized cutting tool designed for use in CNC machines, particularly when cutting soft materials like wood, plastics, or aluminum. It features a single cutting edge or flute that spirals upward along the length of the tool.

  • Made of: Solid Tungsten Carbide             
  • Flutes: One Flutes            
  • Coating: No      
  • Shank Diameter: 3.175/4/5/6/8mm                 
  • Cutting Diameter: 3-8mm            
  • Cutting Length: 8-52mm            
  • Overall Length: 38-85mm

  • Features:
  • Single flute, large chip space: one open flute carries more chip per pass, so material comes out faster and the cut stays clean, especially in soft materials.

  • Up-cut spiral: chips are pulled upward and out of the groove as the tool cuts. The cutting area stays clear, the bit clogs less, and the bottom of the cut comes out clean.

  • Sharper edge: a single flute can be ground sharper than a multi-flute tool. On soft materials where surface quality matters, the wall finish shows it.

  • Less heat: fewer flutes mean less friction. The tool holds its edge longer, and heat-sensitive materials keep their shape.

  • Smooth cutting: chips leave the cut instead of packing into the flutes, so the bit jams less and holds feed rate.

  • Where it fits: wood, plastics, acrylic and soft metals such as aluminum, on any CNC job where you want fast material removal with a clean bottom face.

  • Clean bottom finish: the upcut motion leaves a smooth, even bottom face. When the underside is the side that shows, this is the direction you want.

  • Woodworking:

  • CNC Routing: Ideal for cutting, grooving, and profiling wood, providing clean and accurate cuts with minimal tear-out on the bottom.
  • Edge Finishing: Used for trimming edges on laminated wood, MDF, or plywood, delivering a clean edge on the bottom side.

Performance Data

Standard reference values for guidance only — always adjust to machine rigidity, clamping and tool wear, and confirm on the actual workpiece.

Material Typical spindle speed Typical feed Notes
acrylic 18,000–22,000 rpm 4–8 m/min Polish passes at reduced feed for clear edges
aluminum 12,000–18,000 rpm 4–10 m/min Single-flute geometry clears chips best

Frequently Asked Questions

What spindle speed suits acrylic?

+Begin near 18,000–22,000 rpm with the feed around 4–8 m/min, then tune by chip load and finish. Rubbing means raise the feed; burning means drop it.

Up-cut or down-cut for this job?

+Up-cut pulls chips up and away but can fuzz the top face; down-cut presses the top face down. Match the flute direction to the face you care about.

How deep can I cut in one pass?

+Stay within the cutting length and keep passes inside the listed geometry; deeper single passes raise deflection and heat.

Where do these reference values come from?

+They are standard reference ranges for this tool family, compiled from our specification sheets and common workshop practice — always confirm on the actual workpiece.
