1/4" Up-Cut End MillTungsten Carbide • Nano Blue Coated OverviewBuilt to pull chips up and out of the cut for efficient material removal and cooler cutting. This versatile 1/4" up-cut end mill is ideal for roughing, pocketing, and slotting, while the Nano Blue coating helps improve heat resistance and tool life on spindle-driven CNC machines. Best For Roughing Pocketing Slotting General-purpose CNC cutting Why Choose It Strong chip evacuation for deeper cuts Helps reduce heat buildup and tool wear Forgiving on a wide range of CNC machines Great for fast, efficient material removal Starting ParametersUp-cut tools support more aggressive cutting thanks to better chip evacuation. Spindle: 16,000–22,000 RPM Feed: 150–250 IPM Plunge: 50–80 IPM Cut Strategy: Adjust feed and depth for material hardness and machine rigidity Compatible Materials Hardwood Softwood MDF Plastics Aluminum with light passes and good chip clearing Specifications Tool Type: Up-Cut End Mill Flutes: 2 Cutting Diameter: 1/4" Cutting Length: 1.5" Shank Diameter: 1/4" Overall Length: 2.75" Material: Tungsten Carbide Coating: Nano Blue Notes May cause top-surface tear-out on plywood or veneers Pair with a down-cut or compression bit when top finish matters A strong general-purpose choice for many CNC operations
