1 Flute Down Cut
An 1 flute down cut are suitable for both aluminium composite material (a.k.a aluminium composite panel, ACM, alucobond), plastics and wood. Operating in the same manner as the 2 flute down cut, an 1 flute has a single cutting edge and forces chips back down into the material.
Suitable for
- Plastics (ABS, acrylic, HPDE etc)
- Aluminium Composite Materials
Adam’s Tips
Depending on the rigidity of your cnc, you can cut aluminium composite panel with 1 or 2 passes. Also, if you find that using a smaller diameter bit (e.g. 2mm) creates a higher than desired clean up time due to plastic chips packing back into the slot, try a 1 flute up cut for aluminium.

1 Flute for Acrylic
Can't say much about the bit itself yet as (due to my own stupidity) I keep breaking them. Sometimes I drill it right down into wasteboard screws, sometimes simply trying to set the Z axis and moving the router way too much). When I manage to get it right, it does what it is supposed to do, however I am still trying to find out the right settings for Acrylic. But, my experience so far has been more than excellent with Adam. Both in terms of speedy delivery, quality of the products and most importantly for me, being extra helpful, answering all my newbie questions and guiding me along. I highly recommend Adam's bits as well as the CNC machines (BlueCarve).

Fantastic
I know it's my first end mill, but it's great. Tested on MDF and it gives sharp, clean cuts all the way through.

OK on Aluminium
Good value. Arrived fast. Works fine on Aluminium with no lube using shallow cuts and multiple passes. 2mm bit chatters if deeper cuts attempted. Probably better with lube, but I didn't want the mess on my hobby CNC Router.

Down cut done the job with out excess chipping
Job Aboriginal Art, engraving 3mm x3mm deep line and concentric circles with a space of 3mm between cut with cross hatching, it left the cross hatching areas cutting clean, on iron bark, slow but doing the job Thanks Michael
