End mills are cutters designed to produce precision shapes or slots through carious milling operations. End mills are available in a variety of design configurations as well as various materials.
| Square End | Various Helix Options |
| BallNose | Irregular Spaced Fluting |
| Radius | End Form |
| Tapered | OD Form |
| Double End | |
1-Flute: Single flute end mills are used for the routing of soft plastics, wood, and special milling applications. |
|
2-Flutes: 2-flute end mills allow for maximum chip evacuation and are used for plunge milling, roughing of slots, or peripheral milling. |
|
3-Flutes: 3-flute end mills are more rigid than 2-flute end mills and are ideal for slotting applications as well as general milling applications. |
|
4-8 Flutes: These multi flute end mills provide stronger rigidity which allows for higher metal removal rates with minimal chip deflection. These end mills are generally used for finishing operations. |
