    High-Speed Steel Square End Mills

    Image of Product. Front orientation. End Mills. High-Speed Steel Square End Mills, 8 Flutes.

    8 Flutes

    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.
    Noncenter Cutting—Noncenter-cutting end mills are for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work, such as shoulder milling, contouring, and finishing. They cannot be used for plunge cuts.

    Ball Cut Style

    8 Flutes

    Serrations along the cutting edge act as chip breakers, so these end mills can remove large amounts of material at high speeds without sacrificing tool life. 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 stainless steel, titanium, and tool steel. They have a coarse pitch and create large chips, so they’re also more efficient when working on soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and bronze. 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.

    8 Flutes

    Variable spacing between the flutes reduces vibration, allowing these end mills to provide fast cuts, smooth finishes, and long tool life on hard materials. 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.
    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. A titanium aluminum silicon nitride (TiAlSiN) coating makes them extremely resistant to wear and diffusion because they have especially high hardness, even at high temperatures.
    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.

    Diamond-Coated Router Bits for Composites

    With a diamond coating, these bits resist wear when used on abrasive materials, making them last about 50 times longer than uncoated bits. Their sharp cutting edges and flute shapes are specifically designed to cut through tough materials such as composites with minimal resistance. This means less strain on your router and more control when cutting, leading to a smooth cut. Bits are made of solid carbide for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.

    Square Cut Style—Use bits with a square cut style to cut slots, pockets, and edges.
    Drill/Mill Cut Style—Bits with a drill/mill cut style have a pointed end for easier plunge cuts than square-cut bits.
    Plunge Cut—Plunge-cutting bits let you cut directly into the workpiece from above. Other bits are best for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work such as trimming, contouring, and finishing.
    Straight Flutes—Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish.
    Spiral Flute—Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily (for plunge-cutting bits).
    Roughed Spiral Flute—Nicks on the edges of the spirals reduce the amount of force required to cut through composites, giving you more control as you cut.
    Diamond-Pattern Flutes—Diamond-pattern flutes' small, staggered teeth aggressively cut, yet leave a smooth finish.
    Upward Chip Removal—Bits with upward chip removal lift chips up for applications that require a smooth finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp the workpiece before routing to prevent lifting.

    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, 8 Flutes.

    8 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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

    Carbide Square End Mills for Honeycomb Panels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. End Mills. Carbide Square End Mills for Honeycomb Panels, 8 Flutes.

    8 Flutes

    Cut into the sides and make slots in honeycomb panels without damaging any layers. Honeycomb panels are commonly used in aerospace and automotive applications because they’re strong yet lightweight, but these same qualities make them difficult to machine. Unlike normal end mills, these have a left-hand helix and push material downward as they cut, preventing layers of the composite material from separating. The serrated edges break the honeycomb into small pieces, minimizing uncut fibers that can occur in composite material. A diamond coating on these end mills allows them to machine abrasive material, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and graphite.
    They have a square end for milling square-bottomed slots, pockets, and edges. All are center cutting, allowing plunge cuts into a surface. They are good for long production runs. They run twice as fast as other carbide end mills and last up to 30 times longer.
    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.

    Uncoated Cobalt Steel—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs.
    Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN)-Coated Cobalt Steel—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. They’re more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Coarse Pitch—Coarse-pitch end mills create large chips for better performance on softer metal, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, and carbon steel.
