End mills with high helix are used for milling aluminum and light metals. The end mill cutter may have either taper shank (tanged or tapped) or straight shank. Large cutters (shell end mill cutters) have the cutter part separate and are held to a stub arbor owing to the high cost of the high speed steel.
Read MoreShort end mills with large diameters will give the fastest machining time which results in the most cost effective part. Internal Fillets. Internal fillets should be as large as possible. This allows a large diameter tool to be used which decreases machining time.
Read MoreGreat for large surface area work, roughing end mills have numerous serrations (teeth) in the flutes to quickly remove large amounts of material, leaving a rough finish. They are sometimes referred to as Corn Cob cutters, or Hog Mills - so called after the pig who 'grinds' away, or consumes, anything in it's path. Square End Mills

These long-life, micro-grain carbide tools are available in various radii, shank diameters, and geometries for specialty applications. From a slight .5mm radius to a larger 6mm radius, we ...
Read MoreThe end mill speed is calculated with the following formula: n [rpm] = (vc [m/min] *1000) / 3.14 * ø d1 [mm]) Example calculation: vc = 500 m/min (selected from chart) d = ø 8 mm 19904 rpm = (500 *1000) / (3.14 * 8). If the maximum speed of the milling motor is lower than the calculated value, the maximum speed of the milling motor needs to be inserted into the formula for the …
Read MoreThe mini-mill comes with 3/8" and 1/2" collets, but you will eventually need 5/8" and 3/4" collets and/or end mill adaptors to hold mills larger than 1/2". 2-Flute Versus 4-Flute 2-Flute mills are generally used for cutting slots or grooves, while 4-flute mills are more often used for surface milling, using the end of the mill.
Read MoreFour-flute end mills clear chips more quickly than end mills with more flutes and allow for higher feed rates than end mills with fewer flutes. They also typically have larger cores and are less prone to breaking than end mills with fewer flutes. The bright finish on these end mills provides a smooth, polished surface.
Read MoreSerrations along the cutting edge act as chip breakers, so these end mills can remove large amounts of material at high speeds. Undersize-Tolerance High-Speed Steel Square End Mills Commonly used to make keyways in rotary shafts, these tools have a - 0.0015" to 0.0000" mill diameter tolerance for creating a precise fit.
Read MoreIndexable end mills also use replaceable carbide inserts. Indexable end mills are convenient for efficient roughing and to save costs on the larger sizes of solid end mills. Indexable end mills are typically used to rough the part, which is then finished with a …
Read MoreWhat makes these end mills unique is the large radii in the cutting area of the respective tool which offer entirely new possibilities in machining. The large radius simulates a ball-nose end mill with a cutting diameter of 12 to 3000 mm and even larger on request.

Read MoreRoughing End Mills have scallops on the cutting edges, which cause the chips to break into smaller segments. This results in lower cutting pressures at a given radial depth of cut. They are designed to remove large amounts of material quickly and more efficiently than standard end mills. The distance between scallops is referred to as pitch.

Read MoreWhen one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard carbide end mill. Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Use them to round sharp corners on the edge of your workpiece.

Read MoreA higher number of flutes increases the strength of the tool and reduces space or chip flow. End mills with less flutes on the cutting edge will have more chip space, while end mills with more flutes will be able to be used on harder cutting materials. Single Flute designs are used for high-speed machining and high-volume material removal.
Read MoreA tool with larger radii can also be referred to as "bull nose." Ball Profile End Mills This type of tooling features flutes with no flat bottom, rounded off at the end creating a "ball nose" at the tip of the tool. Cutter Diameter The cutter diameter is often the first thing machinists look for when choosing a tool for their job.
Read MoreSlotting: A 4-flute option is the best choice, as the lower flute count results in larger flute valleys and more efficient chip evacuation. Finishing: When finishing in a ferrous material, a high flute count is recommended for best results. Finishing End Mills include anywhere from 5-to-14 flutes. The proper tool depends on how much material ...
Read MoreFor smaller mills whose spindle won't exceed 6000 rpm that will be cutting aluminum, I typically recommend HSS for endmills larger than 1/2″ diameter and carbide for smaller endmills.
Read MoreBy using a tapered end mill, the cross sectional area is larger than a straight end mill of the same tip diameter, creating a much stronger end mill that is less likely to bend while milling. For perfectly vertical walls you will need to use a straight end mill as the taper just won't reach. However for angled walls, using a straight end mill ...

Read MoreLarge end mills require fewer passes to complete the operation and in some cases such as creating a circular pocket on a non CNC machine, it makes it simpler to use the exact size end mill. However, larger end mills require more torque, often not available on a small machine. The lack of rigidity of a small machine can cause more chatter with a ...

Ball end mills are used for drilling shallow holes, slotting a channel where a flat bottom is not required or most commonly used to produce multi-dimensional contours in molds or dies. The design of ball end mills forms a hemispherical cutting action identical to the diameter of the tool. Because of the shapes required in these ...
Read MoreThe larger your end mill diameter, the bigger the radius of this circular profile. In order to overcome this problem, CNC operators use what is called " dogbones ". Dog bone corners describe the shape of a corner that is extended outside the cut area to create a perfect 90º corner.
Read MoreEnd mills (endmills) are used in a milling machine to remove stock & shape work pieces in a wide range of materials in both high volume production and maintenance and repair applications. Choose from a wide range of styles including: finishing, roughing, ball, corner rounding and more.
Read MoreDown-cut end mills create a smooth top surface on laminates, and hold down thin parts, and are better at avoiding tabs on larger parts. Ball-Nose End Mills. Ball-nose end mills, also known as a "ball end mills," have rounded tips. They can be single-ended or double-ended.
