When one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard high-speed steel end mill. Made of high-speed steel, these end mills are for general purpose milling in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. Their square ends make them good for milling square 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.

Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. 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.

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. They have a square end for milling square slots, pockets, and edges.

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.

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.

Use these end mills for general purpose milling in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. 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 two flutes provide better chip clearance for high-volume, high-speed plunge, slotting, and roughing cuts. Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. Use titanium-nitride (TiN) coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs.

Made of cobalt steel, these end mills have good heat and wear resistance, so they can run at high speeds in hard material. A 90° pointed tip allows them to be used for drilling as well as for slotting, profiling, and chamfering cuts. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface.

Use these versatile end mills for milling in most material, including aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They're often used to create slots in machine tool tables, indexing tables, and other workholding surfaces.

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. 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.
