Endmill Design Basics Angular Edge – The cutting edge that is a straight line and forms an angle with the cutter axis. The cut that an Angular edge tool produces will not be as flat as a helical cutting edge. Axial Runout – The difference between the highest and lowest indicator reading that is taken at the face of a cutter near the outer diameter.

Ball end mills have rounded tips and are used to mill 3D shapes or rounded grooves. T-slot end mills can easily cut accurate keyways and T-slots to create working tables or other similar applications. Straight flutesend mills have a zero degrees helix. They work well for materials where the lifting effect of a spiral flute might cause unwanted ...

End mills with five or more flutes are ideal for finishing cuts and cuts in harder materials but must operate at lower material removal rates due to their poor chip evacuation properties. When running at similar rates, multiple flute end mills will take a lighter chip load per tooth, resulting in an improved finish and smoother machining.

End Mills are used for making shapes and holes in a workpiece during milling, profiling, contouring, slotting, counterboring, drilling and reaming applications. They are designed with cutting teeth on the face and edge of the body and can be used to cut a variety of materials in several directions.

End mills are widely used, multiple-flute cutters typically used for machining metals or plastics. They are typically mounted vertically and have two or more helical flutes. End mills are usually configured to cut with their ends and on their sides. Construction End mills may be of solid construction, or with holders and inserts.

End Mill Cut Varieties: Centre-cutting end mills are those that can be plunged straight down into the material. They can mill, and they can drill. (They have cutting edges on the end face and the sides) These are usually the 2 flutes or 3 flute endmills, and occasionally you can find some 4 flutes that are centre cutting as well.
The list is not exhaustive, but is what our staff has found to be most useful. Design milled areas so that the end mill required is limited to 3:1 in length to diameter ratio. As shown in the figure below, longer end mills are prone to chatter. When designing a three-edge inside corner, one of the inside edges must have the radius of the end mill.
3. End mills are the cutters of the milling world and are used for slotting, profiling, contouring, counter-boring, and reaming. 4. End mills allow for precision parts to be cut, anything from machine parts, jewellery designs, wood engravings, sign making, plastic cutting, mold making and circuit boards. 1.

So why use an Endmill and not a drill bit? In short, a drill bit moves up and down, an end mill moves side-to-side (Note: there are endmills available that move in all directions).
A 50% reduction in operating speed can double the life span of your end mill. Choose the correct flute count for the application - proper chip evacuation is crucial as heated cutters can lead to low-quality cutting (burnt material, burred edging and dull tooling). Use carbide end mills for harder materials and high production applications.
