Vertex Tilting Hydraulic Vise
Heavy-duty hydraulic vise on a tilt base — 25,000 N+ clamping force, repeatable angular settings for production milling on tilted faces.
Vertex VH Hydraulic Machine Vise
Production hydraulic vise series for CNC mills — massive clamping force with low handle effort, tested for repeatability across long runs.
Vertex VU Universal Tilting Rotary Table
Universal rotary table that tilts 0–90° vertical — precision worm-and-wheel indexing for compound-angle milling and drilling.
Vertex BS-2 TS Tailstock
Matched tailstock for the BS-2 universal dividing head — supports long shafts during indexed milling and gear cutting.
Vertex BS-2 Universal Dividing Head
Workshop-standard universal dividing head — gear cutting, splines, hex broaching, indexed slot work. Supplied with index plates and crank.
Vertex TS-1 Tailstock
Compact tailstock matched to Vertex HV-4, HV-6 and BS-0 dividing heads — supports long workpieces for indexing and rotary-table jobs.
Vertex VUT Tilting Rotary Table
Heavy-duty tilting rotary table for full toolroom & production milling — 6", 10" and 12" faceplate sizes, ex-stock from Dubai.
Decoding End Mill Specifications
Every solid carbide end mill is described by six specs — flute count, flute geometry, coating, helix angle, shank diameter and length series. Once you know the alphabet, picking the right cutter takes about ten seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about end mills, coatings, router bits and ordering from SAN Tools.
What is the difference between 2-flute, 3-flute and 4-flute end mills?
2-flute end mills have the largest flute pockets — ideal for aluminium, plastics and slotting. 3-flute is a universal compromise. 4-flute end mills have more cutting edges per revolution — the standard for steel, stainless, cast iron and side-milling. 5- and 6-flute are for finishing in hardened materials.
Which coating should I pick for my workpiece?
Aluminium & non-ferrous: uncoated polished (NC). Carbon & alloy steel: TiN or TiCN. Stainless & high-temp alloys: TiAlN or AlTiN (800–900°C). Hardened steel HRc 45+: AlTiN or specialty nano-composite.
Are you the authorised Amana Tool distributor in the UAE?
Yes — SAN Tools is the authorised Amana Tool distributor for the UAE. We hold the metric and imperial CNC router bit range in local Dubai stock with full technical support, including V-groove, compression, upcut/downcut, O-flute and Spektra series.
What helix angle should I use?
30° is the universal default. 35–38° shears more cleanly with lower force — good for stainless and finishing. 45° high-helix is for aluminium to lift chips out of deep pockets. 15° low-helix is for cast iron and interrupted cuts.
What ER collet size do I need?
ER11 for desktop CNCs (1–7 mm shanks), ER16 (1–10 mm), ER20 (1–13 mm), ER25 (2–16 mm), ER32 (3–20 mm), ER40 (3–26 mm). Each collet has a 1 mm clamping range so a full set covers every shank size from 1 mm upwards.
What is the difference between upcut, downcut and compression router bits?
Upcut spirals lift chips up — great evacuation but tear the top surface in plywood and laminate. Downcut spirals push chips down — clean top surface but can pack chips in deep pockets. Compression bits are upcut on the lower section and downcut on the upper section — shearing cleanly on both faces of double-sided laminated panels.
Do you offer free delivery across the UAE?
Yes — in-stock items ship same-day from Al Quoz Dubai for next-day delivery to Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Free delivery on orders over AED 500.
