Cleveland C60636 End Mill for Aluminium
The Cleveland C60636 is a .5 in three-flute carbide square end mill designed for aluminium milling. Its uncoated carbide substrate resists built-up edge in non-ferrous materials. The straight shank fits standard half-inch holders on CNC or manual machines. It suits shops cutting aluminium profiles, plates or extrusions.
Sustained Cutting Performance
The 2 in length of cut allows deep profiling without excessive tool overhang. Three flutes balance chip evacuation and core strength during extended passes in soft alloys. Uncoated carbide maintains sharpness where coatings can degrade under high heat. The 4 in overall length supports rigid setups that reduce chatter over long runs.
Upgrade From Two-Flute or Coated Tools
Replaces two-flute end mills when higher feed rates are needed in aluminium. It outperforms coated carbide where coating delamination dulls the edge. The jump is worth it for shops seeing poor finish or chip welding with generic tooling. Not suited for steel, titanium or high-temperature alloys.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 0.5 in carbide end mill generate during extended milling sessions?
The uncoated carbide construction dissipates heat efficiently, and the 2 in length of cut provides ample chip clearance to reduce thermal buildup during prolonged use.
What tool holder is required to run the 1/2 in shank on my milling machine?
A standard 1/2 in collet, end-mill holder or shrink-fit chuck matching your machine's spindle taper will secure the straight shank without additional adapters.
Will this end mill work effectively on the older manual knee mill I keep in the shop?
Yes, the straight 1/2 in shank and 4 in overall length fit conventional tooling on manual knee mills, and the 3-flute geometry suits aluminium profiling on those machines.
