SOLID CARBIDE ENDMILL
The end mill is named after its cutting end or tip, which is shaped like a cylinder or ball at the end of a long shank. They feature several end types for cutting, flutes, and point angles.
End mills are commonly used in milling machines, which are machines that use rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece. The milling machine moves the workpiece against the rotating end mill, which cuts into the material and removes chips of material to create a desired shape.
End mills are versatile tools that can be used to cut a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, and composites. They are used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive.
TYPES OF ENDMILL
- Square End Mills: These end mills have a square tip and are used for general milling applications. They are great for creating square bottomed slots and pockets, and for cutting flat surfaces.
- Ball End Mills: These end mills have a rounded tip and are used for milling curved surfaces. They are great for creating rounded edges and for making 3D shapes.
- Corner Radius End Mills: These end mills have a rounded corner on the tip and are used for milling rounded corners. They are great for creating fillets and for making parts with rounded edges.
- Chamfer End Mills: These end mills have a flat tip with angled sides and are used for creating chamfers or beveled edges. They are great for creating angled edges on parts and for creating a finished edge on a part.
- Roughing End Mills: These end mills have a serrated or scalloped edge and are used for removing large amounts of material quickly. They are great for roughing out parts and for creating a rough finish on a part.
- Tapered End Mills: These end mills have a tapered tip and are used for creating tapered holes or channels. They are great for creating parts with a conical shape.
- Drill Mills: These end mills are designed to drill holes and mill flat surfaces at the same time. They are great for creating holes with flat bottoms and for making counterbores.
