What is an End Mill?
An end mill is a type of milling cutter extensively used in CNC machines and manual milling machines for a wide variety of machining operations.
End mills use a combination of rotation and movement to remove material and create desired shapes:
Rotation: The end mill is held in the machine's spindle and rotated at high speeds (RPM).
Cutting Action: The cutting edges of the end mill shear away material as it rotates. Both the side flutes and the end face of the cutter can be used for cutting.
Machining Operations: End mills are incredibly versatile due to their ability to cut in various directions:
1. Raw Material Selection
2. Fluting and Shank Formation
3. End Face and Geometry
4. Heat Treatment (Often)
5. Finishing and Coating
6. Quality Control

Core Design Principles
Type: The type of end mill (square end, ball nose, roughing, etc.) is the primary factor determining its intended applications.
Material: End mills are typically made from high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, or sometimes powdered metal (PM) steels. Material choice balances toughness, wear resistance, and cost based on your work materials and application.
Flute Design: Flutes (the helical grooves) are crucial for cutting and chip evacuation. Key parameters include:
Cutting Edge Geometry: The shape of the cutting edges on the end mill's face and circumference directly influences how it interacts with the material.
Coating: Applying performance-enhancing coatings (TiN, TiAlN, AlTiN, etc.) significantly boosts wear resistance, reduces friction, and extends tool life.
Baucor Expertise: We expertly select and apply the coating perfectly suited for your application, maximizing cutter life and performance.
