BC2055 is a 3-flute, DLC-coated solid carbide corner radius end mill developed for aluminum alloys and other compatible non-ferrous materials. It is a strong choice when chip evacuation, low material adhesion, and a more durable cutting corner matter more than simply using a sharp square-end tool.
Why BC2055
Aluminum machining often becomes unstable when chips are not cleared efficiently or material begins to build up on the cutting edge. BC2055 addresses that with an open 3-flute geometry and a low-friction DLC-coated surface. The corner radius adds strength at the tool tip, helping the cutter handle contouring and side-milling work with less risk of corner damage than a sharp square end.
Specification Range
BC2055 is available in a wide metric size range for aluminum corner-radius milling, including small-diameter tools, equal-shank options, reduced-shank options, short reach, standard reach, and extended-reach lengths. Select the diameter, corner radius, shank style, and overall length according to the part drawing, machining depth, holder clearance, and rigidity requirement.

Best Suited For
- Aluminum alloys
- Copper and other compatible non-ferrous metals
- Plastics and similar materials where a low-friction cutting surface is useful
- Side milling and contouring
- Semi-finishing and finishing
When to Choose a Corner Radius
Choose BC2055 when the part geometry allows a radius at the internal corner and you want a stronger cutting edge than a square end mill. The selected R value should match the part requirement; a larger radius generally gives a stronger corner, while a smaller radius follows tighter geometry.
How to Choose the Variant
- Cutting diameter: match the feature size and required tool rigidity.
- Corner radius: match the drawing and required edge strength.
- Shank style: equal-shank sizes help with rigidity; reduced-shank sizes can help when small cutting diameters need a stronger holder connection.
- Overall length: use the shortest practical reach to preserve rigidity and reduce vibration. Use 150L extended-reach sizes only when the machining depth or fixture clearance requires it.
Important
BC2055 is focused on non-ferrous machining. For steel or stainless-steel work, choose a BB Tool series designed around those workpiece materials and their higher heat requirements.
Cutting conditions should be selected according to the exact alloy, tool diameter, radial and axial engagement, holder runout, machine rigidity, and chip-removal method.
