An end mill is a type of milling cutter, a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. It is distinguished from the drill bit in its application, geometry, and manufacture. (Wikipedia)
End mills come in different sizes and with different numbers of flutes. In addition, they can be made of different materials.
Usage
End mills are used with our CNC router. In the CNC room, a simple set of cheap end mills is available.
The material you want to cut dictates the proper mill material and number of flutes. If you are unsure which end mill to use, please refer to our collection of milling experiences.
