carbide end mill set
An end mill set is a general term for a group of cutting tools used for milling operations in mechanical processing. It is usually composed of end mills of various specifications and types to meet different processing requirements.
1. Basic concept of end mills
End mills can cut different parts. Some end mills have cutting edges on the side and end of the cylinder, which can be used to process platforms, steps, grooves, complex contours, etc.
2. Common components of end mill sets
Ordinary end mills: usually used for conventional milling, such as plane processing
Ball end mills: the cutter head is spherical, round curved surface processing or 3D contour engraving
Keyway milling cutter: dedicated to processing keyway design, usually a two-edge structure
T-slot milling cutter: used to process T-slots or special grooves
3. Features of end mill set:
Flexible adaptation to multiple materials and processes: including high-speed steel, carbide (tungsten steel) or coated tools, respectively for the processing of different materials such as aluminum, steel, cast iron, plastic, etc.
Economy and cost control: extend tool life and reduce inventory costs.
Efficient production reduces downtime: fast tool change, batch processing optimization
Specialization and standardization: standardized specification design, modular expansion, in line with international tool standards (such as DIN\ISO) and adaptable to mainstream machine tool interfaces (such as BT\HSK)
4. Typical end milling cutter group configuration
| Tool Type | Specification | Use |
| Roughing end mills | Φ10mm, 4 blades, carbide | Quickly remove excess aluminum parts |
| Finishing end mills | Φ6mm, 6 blades, TiN coating | High-finish surface processing of steel parts |
| Ball nose end mill | Φ8mm, 2 blades | Mould surface finishing |
| Keyway milling cutter | Φ4mm, straight handle | Narrow groove or keyway processing |
The end mill set is an ideal choice for processing complex parts through scientific tool matching, balancing efficiency, precision and economy, and is especially suitable for modern manufacturing scenarios with CNC and mass production.
