These end mills have an extended neck with a reduced diameter that prevents them from rubbing against your workpiece when deep milling. Also known as runner cutters, they cut channels with precise angles and dimensions, reducing the need for additional finishing. They have a ball end for milling rounded slots, slopes, and contours. 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.

Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They will stay sharper than coated end mills and leave a better finish on soft materials like aluminum.

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.
