Make Your Work Easier!

šŸ” SpeTool’s focus is mostly on wood, plastic, and non-ferrous metal cutting. They do have some **3-flute and 4-flute end mills** that are advertised for aluminum and brass (non-ferrous) and even some that mention stainless steel:contentReference[oaicite:81]{index=81}. These are solid carbide end mills with appropriate geometry and often special coatings (like TiAlN or similar) for harder metals. However, cutting steel on a CNC router (which typically has higher RPM and less rigidity than a milling machine) is tricky. If you have a very rigid CNC and can run low RPM, you might use their 2-flute or 3-flute carbide end mills to *lightly* mill mild steel or stainless. But for most hobby CNC routers, steel is not really feasible beyond engraving or very shallow cuts – it’s more of a job for a metal milling machine. So while SpeTool offers cutters that in theory can cut steel (because carbide can handle it), using them in a router setup requires extreme care (slow feed, very shallow depth, maybe coolant). For practical purposes, consider their ā€œmetal cuttingā€ bits as primarily for aluminum and brass. If you need to machine steel often, you’d likely look at specialty slow-RPM tools or a different class of machine. So short answer: they have bits that can handle steel, but cutting steel on a router is advanced territory – not typically recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
