What Are End Mill Cutters?
End mill cutters are a form of carbide cutting tools which are primarily used in industrial milling. What differentiates end mill cutters from regular drill bits is that they are capable of cutting in several directions, as opposed to just the axial direction. They also differ in their shape, how they are manufactured and the applications they are used in. Let's take a closer look at what end mill cutters are and what they are capable of.

TYPES OF END MILL CUTTERS
There are a large variety of end mill cutters on the market today. From a broader category perspective, there are some that are center cutting and some that are not. These types of carbide cutting tools are further categorized by such features as the number of flutes, the material they are made from, their helix angle and what they are coated with.

End mill cutters are also categorized by their geometry and application. In other words, the appropriate tool for the job would depend on the type of material being milled. For instance, if you were milling a softer material like aluminum, a cutter with deeper flutes and a sharp edge would be the best choice. Stronger materials, like stainless steel, on the other hand, would call for flutes that are shallower and feature a squared-off edge. When in a doubt, carbide cutting tools manufacturers should be able to point to the right direction.

HOW ARE END MILL CUTTERS USED?
End mill cutters are primarily used on milling or turning machines to produce precision holes and shapes. The successful application of end milling ultimately hinges on how well the tool is supported by the holder. End mills can be selected and utilized for the following basic applications:
Face Milling - Small areas of relatively shallow depthKeyway Production - Two separate end millsWood ruff Keyways - Single cutter, straight plungeSpecialty Cutting - Milling of "T" shaped slots, tapered surfaces and dovetail productionFinish Profiling - Inside/outside shapeCavity Die Work - Plunging and finish-cutting die steel pockets (requires the production of three dimensional shapes)

TYPES OF END MILLING PROCEDURES
In addition to the many types of carbide cutting tools and applications, there are also a number of different procedures that are performed using end mill cutters. The basic list is as follows:
End Milling Conventional Milling Climb Milling Peripheral Milling Plunge Cutting Ramp Cutting
