    🔧 Understanding End Mills – A Key Cutting Tool for Precision Machining When it comes to high-performance cutting tools in CNC and VMC operations, End Mills are among the most essential. Whether you're shaping metal, wood, or composite materials, the right end mill ensures efficiency, accuracy, and durability. 🛠 What is an End Mill? An End Mill is a type of milling cutter used in industrial milling applications. It has cutting teeth at one end and along the sides, allowing it to perform multiple types of cuts – including contouring, slotting, and drilling. 📌 Types of End Mills: Square End Mills – For sharp corners and flat bottom cuts. Ball Nose End Mills – Ideal for 3D contouring and smooth finishes. Corner Radius End Mills – Stronger than square ends, reducing chipping. Roughing End Mills – For rapid material removal. End mills also come in various coatings like TiN, TiCN, and AlTiN, each enhancing tool life and performance depending on the mat...
