End mill is a commonly used cutting tool that plays a vital role in machining. It has unique characteristics and can be used in many different applications. I will introduce the characteristics of end mills and their applications in detail.

The characteristics of end mills are firstly reflected in the hardness. Since end mills are made of high-speed steel or carbide, they have high hardness and can maintain good rigidity and stability in high-speed cutting. In addition, end mills have better cutting performance and cutting life, which can meet the needs of continuous cutting for a long time.

Secondly, the cutter face design of the end mill has a good cutting effect. The cutter face of the end mill is the flute part, side and tip, which can be trimmed and maintained according to different processing requirements. The cutting edge part adopts sharp edge angle design, which can effectively cut the workpiece and improve the machining efficiency. The flanks have a strong cutting force and can be used for side cutting or grooving. The tip of the cutter can be used for special needs such as hole cutting and finishing.

In addition, end mills are available in many different types and sizes. Whether it is a straight shank end mill, taper shank end mill or grip shank end mill, you can choose the right tool according to the needs of machining. Different types of end mills have their own characteristics and scope of application, making the machining process more flexible and efficient.

End mills are widely used in many machining applications. First of all, the use of end mills for machining on lathes allows for flat milling, grooving and other operations on workpieces. Secondly, using end mills on milling machines allows for a variety of machining operations, such as grooving, trimming, threading, etc. In addition, end mills can also be used on drilling machines, boring machines and other machine tools for processing various materials, such as aluminum alloy, steel, cast iron and so on.

To summarize, end mills have high hardness, good cutting effect, more specifications and other characteristics, applicable to all aspects of machining. When selecting end mills, you need to choose the right tool according to the machining requirements and the type of machine tool. When using end mills, attention should be paid to tool dressing and maintenance to ensure its cutting performance and life. The wide application of end mills promotes the further development of machining and makes important contributions to the development of the manufacturing industry.
