What is an End Mill?
Understanding Industrial Milling Tools and Their Applications
An end mill is a type of milling cutter — a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. It is distinguished from the drill bit in its application, geometry, and manufacture. While a drill bit can only cut in the axial direction, most milling bits can cut in the radial direction. Not all mills can cut axially; those designed to cut axially are known as end mills.
End mills are used in various milling operations such as profile milling, tracer milling, face milling, and plunging. They are essential tools in precision machining and manufacturing processes where accuracy and finish quality are critical.
