Intersecting flutes create a fine finish, making these end mills good for operations requiring light stock removal, such as deburring, profiling, and finishing. 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. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

Flute pitch indicates the size of the serrations on an end mill. Coarse-pitch end mills create large chips for better performance on softer metal, such as carbon steel. Fine-pitch end mills last longer than coarse-pitch end mills and produce smaller chips for better performance on harder metal, such as hardened steel and tool steel.

With a wear-resistant coating and high helix angle, these end mills provide excellent shearing and chip removal in stainless steel and titanium. Made of solid carbide, they are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel end mills 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. The coating allows them to dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, it creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. End mills have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

End mills with five flutes provide a finer finish and operate with less vibration when run at high speeds.

Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. Use 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. Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Titanium-carbonitride (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. Titanium-aluminum-nitride (TiAlN) 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.
