If you have a shop (or a customer) that machines aluminum and aluminum alloys as its go-to substrate, why are you selling/buying general purpose tools? You are working with the most popular-to-machine material. How does your company stand out from your competitors who machine aluminum? Isn’t the advantage of aluminum that it is already free-machining and more desirable to work with in the first place? Isn’t it likely your competitors have reached the same conclusion? If you are using general purpose tools, you are likely getting similar results to your competition. Here’s a suggestion on how to make a competitive advantage. Application specific tools like the TMAL series from North American Tool allow you to optimize the tool you use for the aluminum you machine. Take advantage of a more aggressive geometry, a micro-grain carbide substrate and the ZrN coating to give you a performance advantage over general purpose tools. What makes these North American Tools application specific and how are they different?

Keep in mind all diameters specified are just the shank the pitches are ground on. Your hole size should be large enough to allow for the circular interpolation to take place on your CNC equipment. It is generally recommended (call it a guideline, not a rule) that the tool diameter should not exceed 80% of the hole size for which it is used. We offer programming information on page 16 and troubleshooting info on page 17 for your convenience.
