Solid carbide end mills, precision-ground and in stock.
Square, ball nose, roughing, and specialty profiles — 1 mm to 20 mm, TiAlN / AlTiN / DLC coatings.
Solid Carbide End Mills — Precision Ground for CNC Milling in Dubai
San Tools stocks solid carbide end mills for CNC machining centres, manual milling machines, and toolroom applications. Square end, ball nose, roughing, and specialty profiles — in 2, 3, and 4 flute configurations with coatings matched to your material.
Every end mill we carry is precision ground from micro-grain or sub-micron carbide with h5/h6 shank tolerances. Whether you’re profiling aluminium at 20,000 RPM or slot milling hardened steel at HRC 55, we have the right tool in stock at our Al Quoz warehouse.
Types of Carbide End Mills We Stock
Square End Mills (Flat End)
The workhorse of any machine shop. Available in 2-flute (aluminium, plastics) and 4-flute (steel, stainless, cast iron) configurations. Diameters from 1mm to 20mm, with flute lengths for slotting, profiling, and shoulder milling.
Ball Nose End Mills
For 3D contouring, die and mould finishing, and freeform surface machining. 2-flute and 4-flute options. Excellent surface finish on curved surfaces when paired with the right step-over.
Roughing End Mills
Serrated cutting edges for heavy material removal. Break chips into small segments, reduce vibration, and handle aggressive depths of cut. Use when you need to hog material fast before switching to a finishing pass.
Corner Radius End Mills
Stronger than sharp corners — the radius distributes cutting forces and extends tool life. Ideal for aerospace work where fillet radii are spec’d into the part.
Single Flute End Mills
Purpose-built for aluminium and plastics. Large chip gullet for maximum chip evacuation at high spindle speeds.
Coatings — Matched to Your Material
Uncoated (Bright): Best for aluminium, copper, brass, plastics. Maximum edge sharpness. Lowest cost per tool.
TiN (Titanium Nitride): General-purpose milling in mild steel and cast iron. Adds wear resistance without significantly increasing cost.
TiAlN (Titanium Aluminium Nitride): Best for steel, stainless steel, and alloy steels at moderate to high speeds. The go-to coating for most CNC work in ferrous metals.
AlTiN (Aluminium Titanium Nitride): Best for hardened steel (HRC 45-65), high-temperature alloys, dry machining. Use when you’re pushing speeds and feeds.
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon): Best for aluminium, non-ferrous, and abrasive materials like CFRP. Ultra-low friction surface prevents built-up edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What carbide end mills do you have in stock in Dubai?
We stock solid carbide end mills in square end, ball nose, roughing, corner radius, single flute, and long reach configurations. Diameters from 1mm to 20mm, in 2, 3, and 4 flute options with TiN, TiAlN, AlTiN, and DLC coatings.
How do I choose the right number of flutes?
For aluminium and plastics: 1-2 flutes. For steel and stainless: 3-4 flutes. For hardened steel finishing: 4+ flutes. When in doubt, 4-flute TiAlN-coated is the safe default for most steels.
What is the difference between TiAlN and AlTiN coatings?
TiAlN handles temperatures up to about 800°C and works well for general steel milling. AlTiN handles up to about 900°C and is better for hardened steels and dry cutting.
Do you carry end mills for hardened steel (HRC 50+)?
Yes. We stock AlTiN-coated end mills designed for hard milling up to HRC 65. These use sub-micron carbide with specific edge preparation for hard materials.
What shank tolerance do your end mills have?
All our solid carbide end mills are ground to h6 shank tolerance. This ensures proper clamping in ER collets, hydraulic chucks, and shrink-fit holders.
What is the minimum order quantity?
No minimum. Buy one end mill or a hundred — same service.
