High-Speed Steel Square End Mills
Use these end mills for general purpose milling in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges.
End mills with fewer flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts; end mills with more flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.
Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. Use titanium-nitride (TiN) coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds.
Center-cutting end mills allow plunge cuts into a surface.

Replaceable Carbide-Insert End Mills for Manual Milling Machines
Use these tools with low-horsepower, manual milling machines. They have clamps for holding inserts that do not have a mounting hole. Replaceable carbide-insert end mills reduce waste and cost in high-volume jobs—when the cutting edges dull, replace the carbide inserts instead of the entire tool. End mills have a square cut style for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are noncenter-cutting for operations where the sides of the teeth do most of the work, such as shoulder milling, contouring, and finishing. They cannot be used for plunge cuts.
R8-shank end mills have internal threads on the tapered end for connecting to a drawbar.
Carbide inserts have a wear-resistant titanium-nitride (TiN) coating.
