What is the difference between AlTiN and TiN coating on carbide end mills?

AlTiN (Aluminium Titanium Nitride) withstands cutting temperatures up to 900°C and is ideal for dry machining steel and stainless steel. TiN (Titanium Nitride) is a general-purpose coating rated to ~600°C, suitable for softer steels and general machining. For UAE workshops running stainless, Inconel, or alloy steel, AlTiN is the recommended choice.

How many flutes should I choose for machining stainless steel?

For stainless steel (ISO M group), 4-flute end mills are the standard recommendation — they balance chip clearance and surface finish. In slotting operations where chip evacuation is critical, a 3-flute design may be preferred. For finishing passes with high-speed spindles, 6-flute end mills deliver superior surface finish.

Can I buy cutting tools in the UAE with AED invoicing?

Yes. SAN Tools is a UAE-registered supplier stocking carbide end mills, inserts, and tooling locally in the UAE. All purchases are invoiced in AED, making us ICV-programme eligible for ADNOC, EDGE Group, and other government-related entities that require In-Country Value reporting.

What is the recommended cutting speed for a solid carbide end mill in carbon steel?

For solid carbide end mills with AlTiN coating in carbon steel (ISO P group), recommended peripheral cutting speed (Vc) is 80-150 m/min. For a 10mm end mill at 100 m/min, that translates to approximately 3,183 RPM. Feed per tooth (Fz) should start at 0.02 mm/tooth and be adjusted based on machine rigidity and depth of cut.

What is the minimum order quantity for carbide end mills from SAN Tools?

SAN Tools supplies carbide end mills with a minimum order of 1 piece — there is no minimum order quantity requirement. We serve individual CNC programmers, workshops, and large B2B procurement teams. Request a quote for volume pricing on orders of 10 pieces or more.
