120° DLC-Coated Chamfer Mill Overview
This 120° 3-flute DLC-coated solid carbide V-groove chamfer mill is designed for CNC chamfering, V-groove milling, edge deburring and profile finishing in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The precision-ground 120° cutting profile supports controlled chamfer geometry, while the 3-flute configuration provides multiple cutting edges for stable engagement during repeated machining. DLC coating helps reduce material adhesion and supports smoother chip flow when machining aluminum alloys, making this configuration suitable for clean edge preparation and consistent batch production.

Aluminum Chamfering & V-Groove Application Guidance
- 120° Geometry: Match the included angle to the required component chamfer or V-groove profile before machining.
- Chamfer Width: Control axial tool position carefully because chamfer width changes with cutting depth.
- Chip Evacuation: Maintain effective chip removal when machining aluminum to reduce recutting and material accumulation around the cutting edge.
- Toolholding: Use a clean, low-runout precision holder and the shortest practical tool overhang.
- DLC Configuration: Use the DLC-coated version mainly for aluminum and compatible non-ferrous materials where low material adhesion is beneficial.
120° DLC-Coated Chamfer Mill Customization
Cutting diameter, flute length, shank diameter, overall length, 120° V-profile geometry, cutting-edge preparation and DLC coating can be configured for aluminum chamfering, V-groove milling, edge deburring and profile finishing. Reference configurations use a 3-flute solid carbide design with Ø6–Ø20 mm cutting diameters and a 120° included cutting angle. Non-standard dimensions and application-specific geometry can be reviewed according to the aluminum alloy, required chamfer width, V-groove profile, machining depth, tool reach, holder clearance and dimensional requirements.
| PARAMETER | MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES |
|---|---|
| Cutting Diameter | Reference cutting diameters range from Ø6 to Ø20 mm. Intermediate and non-standard diameters can be reviewed according to the required chamfer width, V-groove geometry and component drawing. |
| Included Angle | The standard configuration uses a 120° included cutting angle for matching chamfer and V-groove features. The required angle should be confirmed from the component geometry before production. |
| 3-Flute Configuration | The standard 3-flute geometry provides multiple cutting edges for stable engagement during aluminum chamfering, V-groove milling, deburring and edge-finishing operations. |
| 120° V-Profile | The precision-ground V-profile can be manufactured according to the required 120° chamfer or groove geometry. Critical profile dimensions can be reviewed from a component drawing or existing tool sample. |
| Chamfer Width | Cutter diameter and cutting profile can be selected according to the required chamfer width and available axial engagement. Final chamfer dimensions are controlled by tool position and machining depth. |
| V-Groove Geometry | Groove width, groove depth and available tool clearance can be reviewed together with cutter diameter and flute length to match drawing-defined 120° V-groove features. |
| Flute Length | Reference flute lengths vary according to cutter diameter. Non-standard flute lengths can be reviewed where additional feature depth, machining access or clearance is required. |
| Shank Configuration | Straight cylindrical shanks are used for standard configurations. Drawing-defined shank diameter and clamping length can be reviewed according to holder compatibility and machine setup. |
| Overall Length | Reference overall lengths include 50, 60, 75 and 100 mm according to cutter diameter. Custom overall length can be reviewed where additional reach or fixture clearance is required. |
| Cutting-Edge Preparation | Rake geometry, relief, edge preparation and flute finishing can be reviewed according to the aluminum alloy, cutting load, chamfer width, chip formation and required edge quality. |
| DLC Coating | DLC coating is available for aluminum and compatible non-ferrous materials where low friction and reduced material adhesion are beneficial during repeated machining. |
| Workpiece Material | The DLC-coated configuration is intended mainly for aluminum alloys and compatible non-ferrous materials. The final cutting-edge geometry should be reviewed according to the specific material grade and machining condition. |
| Machining Application | Geometry can be reviewed for 120° chamfering, V-groove milling, edge deburring and edge finishing on CNC machining centers and milling machines. |
| Dimensional Requirements | Drawing-defined requirements can be reviewed for cutting diameter, 120° included angle, flute length, shank diameter, overall length, V-profile geometry, chamfer dimensions and tool runout. |
| OEM & Private Label | Laser marking, custom tool codes, private labels and packaging can be reviewed for distributor and OEM orders according to specification and order quantity. |
