End Mill Knowledge

NOTES:

 End Mill Materials

• High Speed Steel or HSS

•

Provides decent wear resistance and costs less than carbide end

•

Provides decent wear resistance and costs less than carbide end

mills

• Material is ductile and less prone to chipping

•

Carbide or Cemented Carbide

•

Carbide or Cemented Carbide

• Provides excellent wear resistance and hardness

• Material offers better rigidity than HSS which enables the end

mill to provide a higher degree of dimensional accuracy and

erior surface finish

• Can be run 2 – 3 times faster than HSS and are best for

maximizing speed and tool life

• Brittle material and can be chipped if dropped
