Maxmake Metal 1-Flute Flat Mill 3.175mm x 8mm (1pk) – O-Flute Aluminium CNC End Mill for HiMill D1 & D1S
Precision Aluminium CNC Milling Bit for HiMill D1 & HiMill D1S
The Maxmake Metal 1-Flute Flat Mill 3.175mm x 8mm is built for clean, smooth, and accurate aluminium cutting. Designed specifically for the Maxmake HiMill D1 and HiMill D1S CNC Machines, this premium O-Flute up-cut spiral end mill delivers fast chip removal, improved surface finish, and reliable CNC milling performance every time.
Because this single flute aluminium cutting end mill uses a sharp tungsten steel cutting edge, it cuts quickly while also reducing heat build-up. As a result, you get smoother edges, cleaner cuts, and far less material welding during CNC machining.
This 1/8” shank CNC router bit is ideal for hobby users, makers, workshops, and professional CNC projects alike.
Single Flute O-Flute End Mill for Aluminium
This Maxmake O-Flute end mill features a mirror polished finish which helps improve chip evacuation during aluminium milling. Therefore, chips clear faster while the cutting edge stays cooler and sharper.
The up-cut spiral design also improves material removal. Consequently, your HiMill D1 or HiMill D1S CNC machine can maintain stable and efficient cutting speeds.

Best Materials for This Aluminium CNC End Mill
This single flute aluminium router bit performs best when machining:
- Aluminium
- Brass
- Copper
- Non-ferrous metals
- Acrylic
- Some soft plastics
Because the O-Flute geometry removes chips efficiently, this CNC end mill works especially well on softer metals and materials that generate heat during cutting.
Materials NOT Compatible with This CNC Router Bit
Although this Maxmake metal flat mill performs brilliantly on aluminium and non-ferrous metals, it is NOT designed for the following materials:
- Hardened steel
- Stainless steel
- Carbon steel
- Titanium
- Stone
- Ceramic
- Glass
- MDF with heavy resin content
- Hardwood at aggressive feeds
- Carbon fibre composites
Using this CNC milling bit on unsuitable materials may reduce tool life and lower cutting quality.
Why Choose the Maxmake 1-Flute Flat Mill?
The Maxmake Metal 1-Flute Flat Mill 3.175mm x 8mm offers excellent cutting performance while also keeping operation smooth and stable. Furthermore, the single flute design allows better chip clearance compared to multi-flute alternatives.
