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.

Fasten one insert to the center of these end mills and three more to the sides, and you can use them for drilling, shoulder milling, contouring, and finishing. When the cutting edges dull, switch out the inserts instead of replacing the whole tool. These end mills help you reduce waste and costs in high-volume jobs. The inserts are locked in place with a screw for a hold that’s strong enough to handle the high speeds of a CNC machine.

Inserts have a positive rake angle, which means the cutting edge is angled to reduce vibration and prevent thin workpieces from bending. For a longer life, each insert has two cutting edges—rotate the insert when the first side wears down. They have chip breakers to stop long chips from forming, so they won’t block the flow of coolant or damage your tool. Inserts sold individually come in a clear plastic case to prevent damage during shipping. Inserts sold in packs come factory sealed from the manufacturer, which makes them easy to trace.
