Description

End mill, 2 flutes, downcutting

• An end mill is the standard cutting tool for milling machines and CNC routers.
• It cuts radially and axially but usually does not well plunge vertically.
• It is usually characterised by diameter, cutting length and number of flutes.
• As a general rule, more flutes reduce the tool’s plunging abilities but increase the surface finish.
• Made of carbide
• Downcutting to prevent chipping while machining pockets in fragile materials such as melamine and birch
