    With a mill diameter less than 1/8" or 3 mm, these end mills are great for precise, detailed work such as in electronics, mold making, and medical-device manufacturing. They have a square end for milling square-bottomed slots, pockets, and edges. 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. 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.
    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.
    Uncoated Carbide—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They stay sharper than coated end mills when used on soft materials like aluminum, leaving a better finish.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN)-coated end mills have a hard, smooth finish that resists chipping and wear and prevents material from accumulating on the cutting edge. They’re especially good for use in aluminum. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN)- and aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. This makes these good for aggressive machining while roughing or making interrupted cuts. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.

    With a mill diameter of 3 mm or less, these end mills are great for precise, detailed work such as in electronics, mold making, and medical-device manufacturing. Often used for slotting and pocketing cuts in mold and die making, these end mills have a 90° profile and rounded corners, which reduce flute breakage and chipping. Also known as corner radius end mills. 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. 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.
    An aluminum chromium nitride (AlCrN) coating provides excellent resistance to wear, high temperatures, and oxidation—even at high speeds. Great for difficult-to-machine materials like stainless steel, titanium, and tool steel.
    2 Flutes—End mills with two flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts.
    4 Flutes—End mills with four flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds. They have variable spacing between the flutes which reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials.

    A diamond or diamondlike coating on these end mills makes them good for machining abrasive material, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and graphite. 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. They have a square end for milling square-bottomed slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    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.
    Diamondlike Carbon (DLC)-Coated Carbide—Diamondlike carbon (DLC)-coated end mills are an economical option for short runs and intermittent use.

    A titanium diboride (TiB2) coating reduces friction when working with nonferrous metals, so you can use these end mills to cut soft metals like aluminum, brass, and bronze. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life. 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.
