    Steel Drum Head Cutters

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Drum Head Cutters. Steel Drum Head Cutters.
    Remove the top from a steel drum leaving a clean edge and lip. The drum can then be used with Steel Drum Covers. Also known as drum deheaders, these cutters are for occasional use. Turn the knob to clamp the cutter onto a drum, then push down and pull up on the handle to cut around the head.
    Copper Blade—Copper is nonsparking for use with flammable materials.

    Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials. Also known as barrel cutters, these end mills create the smooth finish of a ball end mill, but with a tapered cutting surface that removes more material with each pass. They're ideal for 5-axis machining where you need to cut from many angles. Plus, compared to ball end mills, they move farther between overlapping passes (stepover), which decreases machining time and tool wear, so they’ll last longer. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    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. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking. A titanium aluminum silicon nitride (TiAlSiN) coating makes them extremely resistant to wear and diffusion because they have especially high hardness, even at high temperatures.
    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.

Also known as barrel cutters, these end mills create the smooth finish of a ball end mill, but with a tapered cutting surface that removes more material with each pass.
