TOYOKAWA―October 13, 2021―OSG Corporation today announced the expansion of its DLC coated end mill series for non-ferrous metals with the high performance AE-VTFE-N for deep side milling and sharp corner edge style to its existing lineup to enable effective corner milling with no uncut residue.
The AE-VTFE-N DLC coated carbide end mill is designed for highly efficient and highly accurate deep side milling at L/D of 5 or more. Its 2.5 x D length of cut specification allows efficient deep side milling with large step milling of up to 2 x D. The AE-VTFE-N’s long length reduced shank design, where its outer diameter is larger than the shank diameter, enables efficient and high quality deep side milling and pocket milling. By changing the overhang length, the AE-VTFE-N can accommodate various machining depth.
AE-VTFE-N square type.
AE-VTFE-N radius type.
Furthermore, the AE-VTFE-N’s flat cutting edge specification enables high quality bottom surface milling with long overhang length. The R shape on the shank side edge suppresses the generation of streaks due to step milling, enabling high milling quality. With a tool geometry where the three cutting edges are connected at the center, the cutting load is equalized among the cutting edges with greater stability. Moreover, the AE-VTFE-N’s variable lead and unequal spacing teeth geometry suppress chattering to allow stable and high efficiency milling.

With the addition of OSG’s DLC-IGUSS coating, long tool life can be achieved in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum alloys that require welding resistance and lubricity. The AE-VTFE-N is available in square and radius styles from diameter 6 to 22 mm.
