When 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 for the longest life and best finish on hard material.

With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel end mills can run at higher speeds and provide better performance on hard material, such as cast iron, hardened steel, titanium, and tool steel. When one end wears out, turn the tool around for a sharp edge.

Good for rounded slots, sloping cuts, and contours, ball end mills have a rounded cutting edge.
