    Cobalt Steel Square End Mills with Two Milling Ends

    Image of Product. Front orientation. End Mills. Cobalt Steel Square End Mills with Two Milling Ends, 4 Flutes.

    4 Flutes

    When one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard cobalt steel end mill. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel end mills can run at higher speeds and provide better performance on hard material, such as iron, hardened steel, titanium, and tool steel. Their square ends make them good for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.
    4 Flutes—End mills with four flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

    For longer tool life and a better finish in general purpose milling applications, these solid carbide end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel end mills. 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 ball end for milling rounded slots, slopes, and contours. 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.
    Uncoated Carbide—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs.
