What is End Mills?
End Mill is one kind of milling cutter to do the process of removing metal by CNC Milling machines.
There are various diameters, flutes, lengths, and shapes to choose from. Basically, users choose them according to the material of the workpiece and the surface finish required for the workpiece.
Here are some of the most common types of end mills and their uses:
1.Ball Nose End Mill. These can be used for milling corner radius of larger sizes, profile milling, and even contouring. Ball Nose End Mill with a smaller diameter can also be used for 3D tooling and engraving tasks. One can also use these for slotting and pocketing the surface. These are generally used in mold and dies machining.
2.Flat End Mill. Also known as a "Square end mill," this is the most common type and can be used for a variety of milling applications, including side milling, profiling, and plunge cutting.
3.Corner Radius End Mill. 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.
4.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.
It is important to choose the right end mill for your project to achieve the desired outcome. Understanding the different types of end mills and their intended uses can help you make the right choice.
