A collection of information about carbide end mills.

Introduction End mill
End mills are types of cutting tools, which are used in the industrial milling processes.

End mill cutters
End mill cutters can be distinguished from ordinary drill bits, by their application, geometry, and how they are manufactured.
 

The Various Types of Milling Cutters
Milling cutters are cutting tools used in milling machined and are generally attached vertically.
 

What are Machine Tools?
Machine tools are powered mechanical devices that are generally used to manufacture metal components of machines by selectively cutting and removing metal.
 

Sharpening Carbide Tools
With excessive use it carbide tools will need to be sharpened from time to time in order to maintain their cutting edge.
 

Grinding wheel
Grinding wheels are composed of an abrasive material that is typically made from a matrix of coarse particles that are pressed and bonded together to form a solid, circular shape.
 

Grinding dressers and Wheel Dressers
Grinding dressers or wheel dressers are tools used to dress the surface of grinding wheels.
 

Milling cutters
Milling cutters are used in milling machines and machine centers.
 

Tungsten carbide used in manufacturing
Tungsten carbide is indicated as WC or W2C and is a chemical compound that contains tungsten and carbon.
 

Things to Consider When using Carbide End Mills with Various Materials
When you first decide to use solid end mills you have to thoroughly evaluate the process and understand the material that will be machined.
 

The three major types of coatings used today
A list of the three main coatings used today. Titanium nitride (TiN) TiN-coated carbide end mills must be run at speeds and feed rates close to that of uncoated carbide end mills.

What is Drop Forged?
For centuries blacksmith hammered red-hot iron into simple shapes and tools.
 

Dry Vs. Wet Grinding of Carbide Tools
When using a silicon carbide grinding wheel, it has to either be absolutely dry, or have enough coolant to flood both the wheel and tool.
 

High-speed-steel: HSS
High-speed-steel is used in the manufacture of machine tool bits and cutters and is often seen abbreviated as HSS.
 

What is CNC?
MIT Servomechanisms Laboratory developed the CNC in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
 

Careers in Metal forming and Manufacturing
The machine tool and metal forming industries are both essential for our country?
 

Machinist, what do they do?
Machinists are craftsmen who use machine tools to produce parts or modify parts by cutting away excess material.
 

Machinist tools
Machinist use several tools, which the machinist has to be proficient in their usage.
 

Machinist Working Conditions
Machinist today, work in relatively clean, well lit, and ventilated machine shops, with the majority of their machine tools either partially or completely controlled with a computer.
 

Machinist Training, Qualifications, Advancement
Machinists must have a high school diploma, or equivalent, and study in an apprenticeship program for approximately 2 to 5 years.
 

Machinist Employment Opportunities Outlook
In 2004, Machinists accounted for approximately 370,000 jobs in the United States.
 

Milling Cutting Fluids and Coolants
Milling cutting fluid is also known as coolants.
 

Milling cutters and machines
Milling machines use milling cutters to remove material from the workpiece.

 

About Reamers
Reamers are used to shape or enlarge holes or bores.
 

Machining and operations
Machining is an occupation, which involving power-driven tools, including lathes, milling machines, or drills, to shape metal.
 

High-Speed Machining with Micro tooling
High-speed machining (HSM) with micro tooling operations offers many benefits when working with nonferrous metals or plastics.
 

The geometry of Micro tooling:
When manufactures of machine tools simply scale down a tool's geometry, it produces unacceptable feedrates as well as unacceptable finishes.
 

Counterbore and Countersink - spot facing
Counterboring or spot-facing if the depth is shallow, is the enlargement of a previously formed hole.
