Heavy-duty flat bottom milling cutter increases the service life of 20% compared with the traditional milling cutter.
An end milling bit is an industrial rotating cutting tool that can be used for milling operations. They are also referred to as “milling bits”.
Aluminum is soft when compared to other metals. Which means chips can clog up the flutes of your CNC tooling, especially with deep or plunging cuts. Coatings for end mills can help alleviate the challenges that sticky aluminum can create.
A ball end milling cutter is also known as a “ball nose mill”. The end of this tool is ground with a full radius equal to half of the tool diameter, and the edges are center cutting.
These carbide ball end mills have a stub flute length (1.5xD), two, three, or four cutting edges, and a center cutting full radius or “ball” on the end. They are available in general purpose geometries and high performace designs.
