When one end wears out, switch to the opposite end for two times the life of a standard cobalt steel end mill. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel end mills can run at higher speeds and provide better performance on hard material, such as iron, hardened steel, titanium, and tool steel.

Read MoreThey cut best using the side of the mill, so most cutting software will slowly ramp the end mill down into the material, rather than a simple plunge. With fishtail end mills, you will have nice square corners at the bottom of any inset section of geometry and a smooth, flat surface anywhere it passes over the top of.
Read MoreA drill bit is designed to plunge directly into the material and create holes only, while an end mill can cut laterally into the material and create slots or profiles. Besides, most end mills are designed to be centre-cutting, meaning they can plunge into the material as well and making them far more versatile than drill bits.
Read MoreSquare End Mills. Commonly referred to as Flat End Mills, square end mills produce a sharp edge at the bottom of the slots and pockets of the workpiece. They are used for general milling applications including slotting, profiling and plunge cutting. Click here to Shop End Mills. Corner Radius End Mills
Read MoreFlat end mill is the end mill with flat/square end. It is a general end type for rough milling,more economic compared with ball end mill and corner radius end mill, but it is not suitable for machining in speed as high as other two type end mills because too high rotation and feed rate may cause sharp corner blade to break.
Read MoreIn plunge milling, the cutting is performed at the end of the tool instead of at the periphery, which is advantageous due to the change in direction of the cutting forces from predominately radial to axial. In general, plunge milling is an …
Read MorePilot to depth with a regular drill and take out the corners with a flat bottom drill or an end mill of appropriate size. Alternatively this might work if you have a rotary table, pilot to depth say a 3/4" hole, change for a 3/4" endmill, offset the table 1/8" on one axis, plunge to depth and rotate the table 360 deg which should give you a 1 ...
Read MoreTodays carbide end mills that are center cutting - and with a little dish - (I think there is a 3-5 degree dish) - will plunge, but inefficient chip removal - the bottom of the hole will sorta look flat. With a HSS end mill that is not center cutting "might" plunge but smoke badly and leave a mess in the bottom of the hole.

Read Moreend mills and create excessive chatter. For an axial plunge cut, it is essential to use a center cutting tool. Two flute end mills are center cutting, where multi-flute end mills can vary. Multi-flute end mills create better surface finishes due to a lighter chipload - per flute. Side loading is dramatically reduced with

Read MorePlunge milling operations vary considerably from traditional milling. They use the end of the tool to cut instead of the periphery, which beneficially changes the cutting forces from a predominantly radial to axial direction. It can be compared to a boring operation with interrupted cuts. Power consumption and noise are low.
