With larger diameters than end mills, these cutters remove greater amounts of material to create a smooth, flat channel in the face of a plate, bar, or other wide workpiece.

Combine a cutter with carbide inserts to create a face milling cutter, also known as indexable face milling cutters.

Use these tools with low-horsepower, manual milling machines. They have clamps for holding inserts that do not have a mounting hole. Replaceable carbide-insert end mills reduce waste and cost in high-volume jobs—when the cutting edges dull, replace the carbide inserts instead of the entire end mill.

Shave shallow layers of material off your workpiece to create a smooth even finish. These fly cutters hold a lathe tool and run on your milling machine.
