    Use these end mills for general purpose milling in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges.
    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 High-Speed Steel—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Use titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds.
    Center Cutting—Center-cutting end mills allow plunge cuts into a surface.

    Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials. 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.
    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.
    Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN)-Coated Carbide—A titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) or aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) coating allows them to 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. Aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) has a higher percentage of aluminum than titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN).

    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.

    Fast-Cut Carbide Square End Mills with Chamfer Corner

    Image of Product. Front orientation. End Mills. Fast-Cut Carbide Square End Mills with Chamfer Corner, 4 Flutes.

    4 Flutes

    A 45° corner chamfer improves cutting edge strength, so these end mills last longer than standard square end mills when milling hard material; however they do not create as sharp of a corner. Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials. They have a square end for milling square-bottomed slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

    Titanium Aluminum Silicon Nitride (TiAlSiN)-Coated Carbide—Titanium aluminum silicon nitride (TiAlSiN)-coated end mills are extremely resistant to wear and diffusion because they have especially high hardness, even at high temperatures.

    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.
