What is an end mill used for?
End mills have cutting edges on both their cylindrical and end faces, allowing for multi-dimensional cutting. Not only can it cut vertically, but it can also cut sideways, mill grooves, contour machining and so on.
Plane end mills can remove the excess part of the material surface and get a uniform and flat surface. It is suitable for mold processing, mechanical parts manufacturing, workpiece leveling and so on.
Groove end mills can process T-shaped groove, rectangular groove, V-shaped groove, dovetail groove and other shapes of grooves. It is suitable for machine tool guideway, parts assembly groove, electronic component fixing groove and so on.
Contour machining can mill along the edges or complex curves of parts to form precise contour shapes. Suitable for 3D mold machining, automotive parts, aerospace structural parts, etc.
End mills with center cutting function of endface flute can be directly used for drilling, reaming and countersinking hole processing. Suitable for metal parts opening, aluminum alloy shell processing, mold hole processing, etc..
Chamfering end mills can trim the edge of the workpiece to improve assembly accuracy and appearance quality. Suitable for mechanical parts, aerospace parts, precision instruments, etc.
For different materials (steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, composite materials, etc.), you can choose high-speed steel or cemented carbide cutters, the latter through the coating technology (such as TiAlN) to enhance the abrasion resistance, suitable for machining of high hardness materials. The choice of end mill is closely related to its main purpose, if you need to choose the right end mill, welcome to contact us.
