5/8" Spoon Cutter, center cutting, single end, 60° helix, 3 flutes, uncoated.
A spoon cutter is a center-cutting single-end mill with a gashed, spoon-shaped end, so it can plunge straight into the material and then feed sideways without a pilot hole. This one is ground from solid carbide and cuts 5/8" diameter on a 5/8" shank, with 1-1/2" of flute and 3-1/2" overall.
Ground for finishing passes: light radial engagement at high spindle speed, where the shear angle and flute polish do more for the surface than raw depth of cut.
The uncoated, polished flute leaves the sharpest possible edge — the usual choice for aluminium and other soft, sticky materials where a coating only adds edge radius.
For HTC carbide tools, if the uncoated tool is available and coating is needed, estimated time to ship is 3–4 business days; tools not in stock typically ship in 7–10 calendar days. HTC HSS or cobalt tools not in stock typically ship in 10–15 calendar days. Availability depends on the selected tool and finish. For items that require manufacturing, contact us for a confirmed estimated ship date.
Unless stated otherwise, estimated time to ship is measured in calendar days, from order placement until your order is handed to the carrier. Carrier transit time is additional. Orders may ship sooner. We accept orders awaiting replenishment; please contact us before ordering if you need a specific shipping date.
